Community Leadership Assembly

The Northwest Environmental Justice Center will be community-led via a Community Leadership Assembly of 8-10 environmental justice community advisors. The Assembly ensures our work is accountable to local vision and is representative of the diverse communities across our region. Help us set priorities for the Center and shape environmental justice support in the region! Applications will be open soon. 

What will the Assembly do?

  • Set the Center’s priorities for the year

  • Review and provide feedback on the Center’s progress

  • Lead an annual participatory budgeting process that allows environmental justice community members to allocate funds to EJ projects, putting funds directly into community hands.

Will I be compensated for my time and knowledge?

Yes! We will cover all trip accommodations and offer an annual stipend. Though not much, it’s a small gesture of our gratitude for your participation and leadership!

When will the Assembly meet?

The Assembly will meet twice annually: one online meeting and one in-person summit.

How do I apply?

Applications will be released here. The form should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.
