Brown Girls Climb is seeking consultants to help us launch our new shopping platform, the BGC Marketplace. The BGC Marketplace is a values based shopping experience for outdoor enthusiasts committed to a better future for all.
The BGC Marketplace incorporates search filters beyond what you find in a typical retailer. We offer an option for you to filter brands by your values because let’s face it – it matters. Search options include: Ownership (BIPOC, Women, Non-Binary (NB), and LGBTQIA2+), Fit & Style (Adaptive, Gender Inclusive, Plus Size), and Corporate Responsibility (Environmental & Social initiatives)
About Brown Girls Climb
Brown Girls Climb (BGC) is a for profit social enterprise which strives to facilitate mentorship, provide access, uplift leadership, and celebrate representation in the outdoors and climbing for People of the Global Majority. Our process is adaptive and emergent with a focus on building equitable and just relationships in all the efforts we commit to, including meet-ups and mentorship, resource sharing and redistribution, and employment and industry practices.
Overview of the Consulting
We are committed to making this an inclusive shopping experience that reduces barriers to finding the companies, gear, and apparel we love. We also want to make sure that as we build this service, we incorporate how wealth is redistributed in our community. For these reasons, we are seeking consultants that can help us accomplish the following objectives. As a note, chosen consultants may be hired to help with one or more of the areas:
Initial Call and Overview of project (1 hr.)
Review and edit our partnership intake form. (1 hr. min)
The partnership form(s) will be given and filled out to any companies (small or large) joining the marketplace. Since we are prioritizing inclusive search features, we want to make sure that the questions we are asking, specifically as it relates to specific communities, are appropriate and valid to the market they are reaching. These include determining companies making:
Plus size gear & apparel
Gender neutral gear & apparel
Adaptive gear & apparel
Review and edit the BGC Marketplace website and search features. (1 hr. min)
As we add new partners that fit these criteria, we also want to make sure that the user experience and search capabilities reflect what the customer is looking for and how they may be searching (language, categories, etc.)
Develop an equitable solution to redirecting and redistributing wealth. (2 hr. min)
We recognize that as we are building something new, this presents a great opportunity to build sustainable avenues for other communities to generate income as well. Although our primary goal is to have the BGC Marketplace as a revenue source for the BGC Community both to staff and to continue outreach, we believe it has the potential to provide for beyond BGC. If and when this model is successful and considering that many potential consultants have done significant work advocating for inclusive products within certain brands or industries, we want to build options for compensation for the sales generated from the platform. We would seek advice from the community to make sure this is done in an equitable and just manner with respect to the communities they are a part of once we have solidified additional funds.
Requirements and Qualifications
We are seeking consultants with experience working with and being part of Plus size, Disabled, and Gender expansive/Queer communities. Additional support is needed from consultants with insight into reparations and Land Back initiatives.
Knowledge concerning product development and marketing or user experience is preferred.
Good communication skills: these projects are collaborative and may involve calls with multiple people or other consultants.
Strong consideration to timelines is necessary: we are hoping to launch an initial public version in November.
Compensation
$150-$250/hour depending on experience. Minimum hours are listed by consulting project. Initial call and project overview is required for all hired consultants.
Timeline
September:
Reach out to consultants
Finalize consultants
October:
Incorporate feedback to partner form, website
Begin Beta testing with community members
November:
Launch public website
Final Notes
We recognize that after beta testing and once the platform becomes publicly available, we will need to continue to check in with the communities it is serving to ensure that it is representative and accurate to the various needs that exist. Our hope is that by investing in this initial launch, we can begin generating funds that can help us continue to maintain the platform and the oversight it may require to stay up to date.

Mentorship in the climbing world can be tough to find. As the activity gains popularity, there’s a lot of people climbing now it is harder and harder to find reliable and trustworthy folks that can help guide our development in the outdoors and in our technical climbing goals-especially folks that share our experiences.
The Brown Girls Climb community is all too familiar with the barriers that exist with Communities of Color. From harassment to basic scheduling, there’s a number of reasons why finding a mentor can be near impossible for some. Below are a few suggestions we have and some resources to help you along your journey.
Start Identifying Your Needs
Mentorship can develop in many different ways and it’s important when you’re starting off to consider your values and what traits you might be looking for in a potential mentor. Here are some questions that might help guide this process:
What are some areas that you’d like support in?
Maybe you’re looking to expand your network with like-minded people that also like to climb or maybe you have a specific climbing or mountaineering objective you want to achieve by the time you turn 35. Whatever you’re looking for, being able to articulate it may help you to start the process.
Are you flexible with your goals?
You may meet folks that can help you with learning trad skills or that can relate to your experience as a first generation college student but may not always be able to do both. Alternatively, you may find mentorship in unexpected places so it’s helpful to be open to people as they come into your life.
What are your boundaries?
People may enter your life with some amazing offers for technical training but this doesn’t always mean they’re the right person for you. Everyone has different levels of tolerance when it comes to interacting with people but we suggest making sure you feel respected within any mentor relationship you enter.
Find Community
There are number of different communities out there that you can connect with from local climbing groups to affinity climbing spaces, connecting with the communities you’re interested in is really important to finding folks that you might connect with.
Brown Girls Climb knows that mentorship can develop in unexpected places and with unexpected people. We’ve seen really strong mentorships develop organically out of our meet-up space and online connections, so have focused our efforts one developing spaces that our members can connect with people that may share their backgrounds and their interest in climbing.
There are a number of other groups that are worth connecting with locally and nationally that may provide the unique resources and the community you need!
Over the past few years, there have been some tremendous grassroots efforts to organize in local cities and towns across the US. Climbing 4 Change, a non-profit dedicated to making rock climbing and the outdoor industry more inclusive has carried on the task of creating a great database for both national and local groups (If you run or know a group that’s not listed, make sure to fill it out or share!). A few folks we’d like to shout out are:
>Non-Binary & GNC Rock Climbers – a POC founded online group! This space is for Non-binary and Gender Non-Conforming rock climbers and we are so stoked to see this come into being!
>Climb Like a Woman – A BIPOC run group which organizes internationally, with their primary focus in India (so cool) and some events and leadership in the US! Watch more of the mentorship efforts in the video below:
Connect & Network
Being vulnerable in new situations or new communities can be really tough and uncomfortable! It’s not an easy thing to ask for help or reach out for a new friendship (a few of our national team are hardcore introverts so we get it!) Networking is a skill that has to be practiced. We want to be clear also that when we refer to networking, we don’t mean swapping business cards, we mean building intentional relationships with new people. Sometimes these encounters can lead to life long friendships and sometimes they can lead to legitimate advice for your next adventure or work project but good networking always starts with authentic and vulnerable connections.
For some of us, reaching out to new people is easy, even fun in some cases. For others, it’s dreadfully scary. We understand. There’s a lot of shame associated with being the new person and for BIPOC climbers, these feelings can be even more pronounced in the spaces we navigate.
We wanted to reduce this fear and also create an intimate and empathetic space for BIPOC women and non-binary folks comfortable in our space to ask questions and connect freely with one another. That’s why we created our own private BGC App for members! If you’re interested, here’s how how it works:
Join the regional, affinity, and climbing groups within the app to find mentors that relate to you!
Regional – Connect with other BIPOC climbers in your state
Affinity – Connect with other climbers that share your identity
Climbing – Share your climbing skill or need on the following groups:
New to Climbing
Bouldering
Sport- Top Rope
Trad Climbing
Ice Climbing
Mountaineering
Post who you are, what you’re looking for, and what skills or knowledge you may have!
Regardless of whether you’re connecting with us on the app or on a Facebook group with a local crew. Here are some suggestions on ways to connect deeper with potential mentors:
Introduce yourself: Who are you, what you’re looking for, and what objectives you have
Ex: “Hi everyone, my name is Maria (She/her)! I’m reaching out to find other moms that climb. I’d love to get back to climbing and am looking to find someone to top rope with indoors.”
Be honest about skills you have and skills you need
Ex: “Hi everyone, my name is Alex (They/Them)! I’m reaching out to find a trad mentor. I sport climb up to 5.10 and am happy lead belay and bring snacks! I have followed a few times in the past but would love to learn more about traditional climbing from someone more experienced.
Be upfront about scheduling:
Ex: “Hi everyone, my name is Rina (She/Ella)! I’d love to get some outdoor lead climbing mileage in. I’m looking for someone comfortable lead belaying and cleaning routes. I work on weekends so Wednesday or Thursday afternoons work best. Hit me up if this works for you.
State your boundaries:
Ex: “Hi everyone, my name is Belen (She/They). I’m looking for some bouldering buds that are down for some fun climbs. I’ve got two pads and a lot of psych but no patience for racists or jerks. If you like PB&J and being a nice human, hit up my DMs.”
Create a safety plan
If you decide to meet up with a new person or people. We strongly suggest making a plan to meet that person in a public place with a friend beforehand. Climbing with them and someone you know the first time or first few times, and letting your friends or family know where you are if you decide to make plans elsewhere.
Overall, use your best judgement when navigating new relationships (have a safety plan in place), have fun, be honest, and remember to share what skills or offerings you might be able to bring as well or ask in a follow up conversation.
Plug into Existing Programs
There are a LOT of great programs to boost your technical skills and training. We’ve listed a few below for you!

***Please note BGC does not work directly with all of these organizations or affiliated providers that they might promote. We are happy to share our beta on who we work with and why and also connect you with folks for organizations that we may be less familiar with. Although all of these efforts reduce barriers to access and knowledge for BIPOC folks, some are BIPOC, queer, and/or women run operations which we always recommend as a first source for support!
Find Multiple Mentors
In our experience, when it comes to mentorship, more is better. We have mentors from all genders, experiences, races, and ages that have helped us develop our skills as climbers, professionals, and community leaders. Each relationship you encounter has potential to enrich your life if it feels like it’s a good fit (see boundaries). Although you may not find the perfect mentor, you might find three or five amazing mentors that can be available at different times (scheduling is a major crux) and different areas to help you reach your goals
Become a Mentor!
At Brown Girls Climb, we firmly believe that everyone is a leader and a mentor in their own right. Sometimes it takes a gentle reminder from a good friend to remember all the skills and knowledge you already have! We’ve met many of you and interact with new and experienced across all sorts of levels. The one thing we have in common (besides the fact that we’re amazing and radiant) is that each of us tends to have some level of imposter syndrome or doubt about our skills.
These sneaky feelings of insecurity about our abilities are not your fault. Typically these narratives stem from a number of different experiences and interactions we’ve had over time telling us we’re not good enough, strong enough, smart enough, or that we simply don’t belong in this historically white activity/ or space. Well, as your good friends, we’re here to tell you that’s bologney!
If you’ve been outdoors, tried top rope or bouldering, or are seasoned recreational sport climber, you’ve already got a lot of knowledge that other folks may find valuable. Those experiences plus your personal perspective can be a valuable combination for other folks looking to connect.
So, remember that mentorship is a two way street. Sometimes the swap is business beta for some rescue lessons or a sympathetic ear about a mixed race relationship for a bouldering spot, but in every scenario there’s room to grow and learn from one another.
As we grow and develop our skills so does our responsibility to share these with others. We hope as we reach our goals, we’ll continue to remind each other to take a moment, look around, and make sure we’re not still alone in the places we arrive to.
Take care fam and reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or additional resources you’d like us to share!
Community Organizing can be a powerful tool to initiate change! What a lot of people new to organizing may not realize is that effective and sustainable community organizing takes a LOT of patience, intentional relational work, and a hefty dose of communication and planning.
Brown Girls Climb started as an instagram but quickly turned into a much larger group/movement. We have not perfected community organizing and probably never will but wanted to share a few tips, tricks, and lessons we’ve learned along our journey.
Take what you need and leave the rest!
Find a crew
Organizing is rarely done by a single person. Finding friends, family, or other community members that share your initial vision (this will morph with the people you meet) is an integral place to start to build support and accountability throughout the process. On the other end, having too large of a group at the start can also be a challenge to establish regular meetings, expectations, and general roles. The old saying “Too many cooks in the kitchen” can definitely apply here. We suggest starting small and diverse and intentional build structures that will expand to more people and continue creating accountability along the way. Take time to get to know one another, how each of you prefers to communicate or be communicated with, your strengths and growth areas, and the capacity each of you have to contribute.
Understand your community needs
Most people typically start with a gap or a problem they are individually facing. This is a great way to start but we want to encourage you as you think about creating a resource for multiple people to include their voice along the way. Ask for feedback on what their needs are and what issues they’re facing. Although you may not be able to address them all initially, you can begin to consider how complex the issue you are facing really is and as possible solutions arise, begin crafting approaches that can meet multiple needs in the community outside of the one’s you’ve identified. Asking for feedback from other people that may be facing similar problems or issues is also a great way to build your crew and find interested volunteers!
Develop governance values and agreements
So often this step is skipped because of a shared assumption that everyone is on the same page. Well, even if you’re a crew of besties, we’d recommend you establish some clear house rules and agreements in addition to your mission. These guidelines will help your team build a solid foundation of mutual understanding and can help you work through the following issues that will DEFINITELY arise:
Mission
This is the reason you’ve come together. Maybe it’s to get a stoplight at that intersection that has a history of accidents or maybe it’s build a climbing community in your city, whatever it is, it will help to write your mission down. And remember, you’re creating something and that process of creation doesn’t stop just because you wrote a sentence. You can always go back and recraft it as your vision becomes clearer.
Method for resolving Internal conflict
Sounds scary, we know but a good team is a diverse team and a diverse team won’t always agree and shouldn’t Providing a method or approach to working through internal conflict (from personal to professional) is helpful to acknowledge that this will probably happen and empower your crew to work through it with care and empathy towards one another.
Just because you think you are doing good work doesn’t mean you aren’t immune to issues along the way. Building accountability methods into your agreements will help you consistently examine ways to reduce harm and seek guidance along the way. You won’t always know the right answer so building honest relationships with people not afraid to call you in is critical. Admittedly, we’re still building and rebuilding our methods into BGC as we grow so this process will be ongoing as you grow and change. We have a lot of folks to thank for checking us when we needed to be checked. Remember your work is for the community. You are accountable to them first!
Examples: Setting up committees or open community calls
Self care
Ayyyyeee. This is such a toughie! As Women of Color, many of us labor out of love and many times at the expense of our own health and wellness. Be intentional about your agreements and values and make sure taking time or space for yourself is included. A good team will hopefully be composed of people that can hold one another accountable to this aspect as well. Doing community organizing, especially frontline work is a long term gig and retaining your health is not an option. So build these values into your agreements to make sure folks can take a breather as needed.
Examples: Provide clearly written statements or reminders for folks to take care of themselves. This could be turning off a video during a zoom call or calling a meeting off altogether if needed.
Equitable workload
A big part of leadership is learning how to effectively distribute and delegate tasks. Admittedly some of us are better at this than others and sometimes it takes time to figure out what works best for folks. Establishing roles and responsibilities (even if those change) can be helpful to start along with checkpoints and communication avenues for folks to voice concerns when they might feel things shift to a point where the workload is inequitable is important. Organizing a leadership
team is it’s own task and an important one to take your time on before growing too fast. This will hopefully help create an effective model as you growth and reach more people. Again, this is an area we are still working on so thinking about it ahead of time will save you some time and struggles we dealt with!
Examples: Tools like SLACK, Google Groups, Trello and other task management tools can help keep things in order and on track as well!
Identify an initial goal or objective
Changing the world can be exhilarating even if it’s just in your neighborhood. It can also be daunting! If your mission is for something grand (like changing the face of the outdoors), start with a local or grassroots project that you are familiar with. Identify a local problem that you might be able to help with. Maybe it’s gear or protest supplies or organizing an Afro Latinx queer yoga meet-up, there are an infinite amount of opportunities out there for you to create space and build resources for people out there. Start with a local issue and no doubt more and more people will resonate with what your building and want to help it grow in the future.
Outreach to other orgs, communities, etc to generate support and advice:
The good thing about organizing is there are so many people and groups out there that have had success and challenges along the way! It’s great to have mentors and people that can help answer questions BEFORE you encounter major problems and also help you optimize your approach to organizing.
Outreach tips
Collaborating with other groups is a great way to spread the word about the work you’re doing. A lot of folks are usually very enthusiastic about supporting your work and can give you their strategies on building partnerships with artists, sponsors, and community builders in your region.
Legal tips or considerations
Whoo. This was always feels icky to talk about because it’s often a tool to police our communities. In reality, this is a real risk and depending on your identity, there may be additional considerations that are worth considering regarding your region or identity. As women of color, we are already questioned at the crag, so we knew it was important to get our certification and insurance so that we aren’t further targeted. Additionally, if you decide to file as a non-profit or a for profit, work with you or special populations, there may be legal issues that are worth researching. Early outreach for legal advice and perspectives can help set you up to more easily navigate complicated systems. You’d be surprised how many business, non-profit, and legal experts are some of your communities!
Fiscal and non fiscal support
Financial support can be one of the biggest challenges for community organizing. Outreach to community and their extended networks can put you in contact with large and small brands, private funders, or other community organizers that can help you creatively think about ways to generate financial support. Additionally, resources like volunteer time or resources (gear, software, accounting and legal services,) can be hugely impactful if navigated with intention. Taking time to make a list of financial and non financial needs can help you approach folks that want to help with a clear list of items that are useful.
Develop a plan:
After or during your community outreach, start developing a plan for your initial specific project. This should include the following:
Timeline – What should get done in the next few months? Year? Is there an end date? Creating a task list for the timeline can help move things along or at least set the stage for moving the vision forward.
Cost/budget – How much would making your dream project come true? What’s the leas amount that you need to make it happen? Establishing a range of a conservative and liberal budget can be helpful to decide what are the ‘must haves’ and the ‘extras’. Also it is worth considering your own time and contributions and how this can be factored in as a line item.
Assign roles and responsibilities – What are people’s strengths and capacities for contributing to the project? Work with the timeline and your crew to break up the roles and responsibilities for completing the project
Continual check ins for labor and health
As your project and initiative continues, it is SOOOO important to continue to check in about equitable labor distribution and health and wellness of your volunteers or organizers. We can’t stress this enough. This work is hard, especially if you are advocating for your identities or others in a space. It’s super exhausting. Your health and your team’s health is the most important to keep the momentum and initiatives up so remember to take a moment to breathe, take the day off to go for a hike or an ice cream, or just laugh with your crew and make sure, together, your organizing team is holding each other accountable to this as well.
Continual check ins for relational health between members
Along with self care, is checking in on the health of your relationships between organizers. Disagreements and discomforts will come up. Practicing deep listening skills, humility, and just practicing apologizing for unintentional harm when it comes up will help create these expectations as the norm within leadership. These relationships are sacred and nourishing them is such a critical part of moving and creating in community.
Continual check ins for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion education and accountability within your crew to the community you’re trying to serve
As your team or efforts expands, your education will need to as well. Our work is intersectional, so make sure you are continuing your education where and when possible to make sure your work is accessible for as many folks that may want to access it and to help you lead and organize with empathy. Some examples of areas to learn are accessibility information for events and organizing, trans rights and inclusive practices, understanding anti-blackness and white supremacy, deepening understanding of Land Back initiatives and Inidgenous sovereignty.
Also, trash the scarcity mentality
Most of us encounter a moment of fear that someone else is doing something similar or another organization is getting funded etc. This fear stems out of the idea of scarcity keeps us in competition with one another instead of in collaboration with one another. We’re in the business of wealth redistribution because let’s get real, the wealth is out there but it’s isolated with certain people in certain communities. So, remember that there is enough space for the work you want to do, don’t be afraid to reach out to similar groups to see how you can support each other, and hopefully leverage your collective power to get support from outside of your orgs.
