Faith in Action: Environmental Justice and Spiritual Leadership in the Bronx

​Many faith traditions call us to care for creation and protect the most vulnerable among us. In the Bronx, houses of worship are trusted anchors and vital messengers in the fight for environmental justice. This roundtable will bring together spiritual leaders, community organizers, and environmental practitioners to discuss how faith-based spaces can help build awareness, drive engagement, and support workforce pathways in the green economy. Topics will include community organizing through congregations, hosting educational events, creating youth internship pipelines, and supporting climate adaptation at the neighborhood level. The session will inform participants on how the Bronx Green Jobs Center can partner with faith leaders to align spiritual values with environmental action and opportunities.
