In observance of the United Nations World Environment Day, the Hyo Jeong International Foundation for Environmental Peace (HJIFEP) is featuring an exciting Environmental Summit for the general public. We will have expert speakers to awaken our consciousness about our relationship with the natural environment and to promote action in protecting and renewing our ecosystems.

This Summit will be conducted both in-person and online. It will include a number of local nonprofits as partners to network and share information with participants. Please register your name and contact information by clicking the "Register" button at the top right of this page. To help cover our costs, a donation of $25 per person is suggested.
