Who We Are:
ARISE, a new networking community for Asian and Pacific Islander professionals/aspiring professionals in green, sustainability, and environmental fields here in San Diego.
From our own personal experiences, we noticed that there’s a lack of API presence in the aforementioned areas. We believe in a space to represent, connect, and uplift API identities to affirm our collective perspectives and backgrounds.
ARISE was started to bring together members of the diaspora to create a community for professionals interested in building a sustainable future through culture, connection, and environmental stewardship.
Culture: Embrace and share practices from the API diaspora
Connection: Create long-lasting relationships to support API professionals in establishing roots in a purpose-driven career through guidance and mentorship
Environmental Stewardship: Encourage involvement and support for local organizations and causes.
If this is you, or someone you may know, we’d love for you to join us! Follow along or help spread the word! 🌿
