Diversity in Environmental Careers Organization, (DECO) will be established as a non-profit educational organization and operate as a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation. Environmentalists, educators and business developers from the Los Angeles area established Environmental Careers Group, now DECO.  Roderic Buck, who felt the need to have information and assistance for individuals job hunting and seeking funds in the environmental field, founded it in 1996.

DECO provides advice and information to jobseekers, teachers, career advisors, working professional and general public through personal contacts, bulletins, e-mail, seminars and workshops.

DECO specializes in recruiting, educating, and job placement of inner city, low- income and /or minority groups. We also, will provide services to minority individuals in rural neighborhoods and to entrepreneurs to help them establish themselves in the environmental market.
