Stephanie Yarborough

I am a climate justice and civic engagement professional with experience bridging policy, community research, and technology. Currently, I serve as a Climate Justice Fellow at CEEJH INC, Center for Engagement, Environmental Justice and Health — INpowering Communities, where I research and analyze challenges such as food insecurity, housing instability, and mental health disparities in high-impact communities. I use tools like EPA EJScreen and state open data portals to inform recommendations that advance environmental and social equity.

I am also a Fellow at the James E. Clyburn Leadership Institute, gaining hands-on experience in campaign strategy, organizing principles, and coalition building to prepare the next generation of legislative leaders.

Previously, I supported State Voices’ national text messaging and civic engagement platform, provided leadership as a Project Lead at Bluebonnet Data, and completed a Cybersecurity Bootcamp for Women through ICTTF, developing technical skills in cyber risk and NIST frameworks.

I am passionate about leveraging data, technology, and civic engagement to empower communities, drive policy change, and promote environmental justice.
