Green careers — jobs that contribute to conservation and sustainability — can be challenging to break into. In 2024, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) found that women hold only one-third of green jobs. The same study found that green workers usually hold a STEM-related college degree, whereas Black and Hispanic/Latinx workers remain underrepresented. Bee University NYC (Bee U NYC) was founded to reduce these disparities. The non-profit organization allows urban communities to engage in the green economy and environmental stewardship through beekeeping.
