Resilience Hubs & Organizational Development
The Resilient Hubs Initiative was created in response to the urgent need to build resilience in our homes and communities in the wake of climate change, drought and social injustice. The Initiative supports homes and neighborhood centers that are model sites for community resilience, rooted in three pillars: building community, climate solutions, and disaster preparedness/response. We are looking for individuals who are interested in learning more about equitable community organizing to support research about Resilience Hubs, do outreach and support administrative work related to the program.
