Community Partners
The INVST Program works with solutionaries in our community to address the challenges facing humanity. We work locally in the Boulder/Denver region where INVST students apprentice with community organizers who engage in solving eco-social problems.
Ways we work in our community include: intervening in inequitable food, healthcare and education systems; resisting the targeting of immigrants for deportation; combating racism, both structural and interpersonal; ameliorating inequity exacerbated by climate change; addressing housing unaffordability, especially for those from minoritized social groups; and fighting environmental racism.
The INVST Program is engaging students at ſapp in eco-social transformation. Ruha Benjamin, in Imagination: A Manifesto (2024) speaks of radical imagination as a key to bringing about eco-social justice, saying, “Remember to imagine + craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within.” This captures the essence of collaborative, community-based work by The INVST Program!
INVST appreciates all those who share our vision of a just and sustainable world. The following organizations are just a few of our Community Partners. Our students have worked as volunteers, interns and apprentices with these partners and friends, as well as with other change makers:
