Chicago Sustainability Leaders Network (CSLN) - www.accelerate77.net/csln
Who We Are
The CSLN connects grassroots leaders from communities across Chicago to share resources, support each other’s work, collaborate, build a stronger collective voice, and nurture equitable and impactful relationships with policy makers.
Our Vision Of Sustainability
We envision inclusive and just communities of civically engaged residents working together to address social disparities and promote environmental health, human well-being, and community vitality for present and future generations.
Call to action: Volunteers needed to help document community-driven sustainability action in Chicago. With warmer weather comes the high time for community events and activities. We're looking for volunteers to assist in storytelling and neighborhood reporting.
Our goals include:
- Expanding the visibility of our CSLN members
- Gathering case studies of successful initiatives
- Shifting perceptions of 'where activity happens' to include outside of the downtown area
- Participate in fun, community-based events
Volunteers will have an opportunity to connect with sustainability leaders via phone, email, and/or in-person. We are flexible to your given time commitments!
Contact Caitlin at Csarro@ica-usa.org for more details!
