Billy Green is a chemistry teacher at A. Philip Randolph Campus High School in Harlem, N.Y. The mission of his work is to create spaces for learning that empower marginalized people to find their place in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics by being responsive to the multiple identities of individuals. He was the science department chair at Frederick Douglass Academy III, the curriculum coach for STEM at East River Academy at the Rikers Island correctional facility and served as a peer collaborative teacher for Bronx District 9.

In an effort to expand his community outreach, Green partners with East Harlem community-based organizations to provide sustainable inclusive programming for LGBTQ youth, which includes educational, social and emotional support in a safe space. He is currently collaborating with Opus Dance Theatre to develop international Arts in Education camps in Africa that use the arts to create, preserve and advocate for the cultures of indigenous people.
