In addition to their environmental education work in North Denver, EGS & Partners is finding a great way to use the network they have developed. They are connecting their community members with different resources (governmental and community-led) that families need to deal with the economic impacts of COVID-19. EGS & Partners is funded through our Grassroots Leadership Fund, in partnership with the Kresge Foundation’s Climate Resilient and Equitable Water Systems (CREWS) Initiative. Read about the Fund on our website.
While we stay home and flatten the curve, Mycelium Youth Network has created a series of Resilience in Pandemic Times programming for students and adults! Be sure to check it out! Mycelium Youth Network is supported through our California Environmental Grassroots Fund. We are currently running a fundraising campaign to raise $20,000 for the Grassroots Fund. Take the Grassroots Challenge to support grassroots heroes driving forward the movement for communities and the environment!
