Who We Are.

The Boston Harbor Women of Color Coalition works to elevate women of color as leaders in green and blue spaces while cultivating connectedness to each other and the outdoors.

We envision a world where we have recognized and elevated the insight, wisdom, and brilliance of women of color; where their leadership is advancing the needs and interests of our communities in green and blue spaces.
