Grant Overview
Colorado's Environmental Justice Landscape: The state's diverse geography, from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains, creates unique environmental challenges for marginalized communities. Young people in Colorado are at the forefront of efforts to address these challenges, with many advocating for policy changes to protect the state's natural resources. Target Outcomes in Colorado: This grant opportunity aims to support youth-led initiatives that promote environmental justice and equity in Colorado. Specifically, the grant seeks to increase the number of young people from marginalized communities who are engaged in environmental decision-making and to promote policy changes that address environmental injustices. Why Environmental Justice Matters in Colorado: The state's environmental challenges, including air and water pollution, disproportionately affect marginalized communities, including low-income and Latino communities. For example, the Denver metropolitan area experiences some of the worst air pollution in the country, with significant negative impacts on public health. Colorado's Youth Environmental Leaders are Making a Difference: Organizations that have a proven track record of supporting youth environmental leaders in Colorado are well-positioned to apply for this grant. These organizations should demonstrate an understanding of the state's environmental justice landscape and a commitment to promoting equity and inclusion in environmental decision-making. Unlike neighboring states like Wyoming, Colorado has a more established environmental movement, with a strong presence of organizations advocating for environmental protection. Implementation Approach in Colorado: Grantees will be expected to work closely with state and local officials to promote policy changes that address environmental injustices. This will involve building coalitions with other environmental organizations and engaging in advocacy efforts to promote environmental justice. Colorado's Environmental Challenges are Complex and Multifaceted: The state's geography, climate, and economy all contribute to its environmental challenges, making it essential to support initiatives that address these challenges in a comprehensive and coordinated way.
