SAFIRE Rising, A Program of ACRJ

SAFIRE Rising ignites practical environmental stewardship among young Asian women from low-income immigrant and refugee families in urban Oakland through a series of retreats at a teaching farm/ecology center, combining hands-on outdoor experiences with culturally relevant ecological practices to apply in their daily lives back home in the city.  SAFIRE Rising, piloted successfully in 2010, is now a regular and ongoing component of SAFIRE’s year-round program of youth development and community environmental activism for these young women.
