Elevating Voices is a scholarship program for Colorado State University students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or persons of color, which provides mentorship and hands-on learning opportunities related to conservation, storytelling, and film production. The first cohort of students worked with mentors from Next 100 Colorado to produce a documentary highlighting the important intersections of conservation and justice.
