Request for Quotes: Technical Assistance Providers
The Northwest Environmental Justice Center (Center) is seeking additional technical assistance providers to join our extended network to support frontline communities with energy and environmental justice issues. Frontline communities have asked for additional support in the following areas:
Storytelling
Organizational capacity building
Alaska technical assistance
Services are usually provided on a 1:1 basis based on requests that the Center receives from environmental justice communities. Preference will be given to technical assistance providers with experience working with environmental justice communities. When a request is submitted, we typically schedule an initial call with the technical assistance (TA) provider and the requesting community within two weeks. After the warm handoff, we ask the TA provider to collaborate closely with the community and keep us updated on their progress.
