The EJ Disrupt Design tech coaches & partners
Our technical coaches and partners play a vital role in the EJ Disrupt Design Fellowship, providing invaluable guidance, expertise, and support to our fellows as they navigate the complex landscape of Evironmental Justice. With diverse backgrounds and expertise in areas such as design, policy, community organizing, and advocacy, our technical coaches bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.
Through one-on-one coaching sessions, and mentorship opportunities, our technical coaches help EJ Fellows develop their leadership skills, refine their prototypes, and overcome challenges along the way. They serve as trusted advisors and allies, offering feedback, encouragement, and practical advice to help EJ Fellows succeed in their work.
In addition to our technical coaches, we are proud to partner with a wide range of organizations and institutions that share our commitment to Environmental Justice. From grassroots organizations and community groups to research centers and advocacy organizations, our partners bring unique perspectives, resources, and expertise to the fellowship.
Together, our technical coaches and partners form a powerful network of support for our fellows, empowering them to drive positive change in their communities and beyond. As we continue our journey, we are grateful for the invaluable contributions of our technical coaches and partners, who play a crucial role in the success of the EJ Disrupt Design Fellowship.
