CCL Training: Getting Started With Local Partnership Ideas

As CCL expands our policy agenda, it opens up the possibilities for our chapters to do more work with local and state-level climate groups and policymakers. For instance chapters might work to promote urban forests by planting trees with a local community organization or might support building electrification and efficiency by lobbying the city council to electrify municipal buildings.  Join CCL's Solemi Hernandez (Southeast Regional Coordinator) and Steffanie Munguía (Student Engagement Manager) for a discussion around how you can jump into getting started with local partnership ideas.
