We're putting together a Core Team, which will include town employees and members of the community. This team will dive into how climate change affects us, get input from friends & family, and come up with a plan to tackle those needs and support resilience.
We are looking for people like you, who are connected with your community and interested in building resilience. There are several different ways you can get involved:
Join the Core Team as a Community Liaisons:Â Community members who participate on the Core Team will become "Community Liaisons." Community Liaisons commit to participating for the full 9-month project (see timeline below) and help bring more voices from our community into this process. As a Community Liaison, you will help to lead engagement activities, participate in equity and climate trainings, attend Core Team meetings, and help guide a community-centered climate resilience project. Community Liaisons will be paid a $2,400 honorarium for their participation in this project, for approximately 60 hours total.
Participate in Engagement Events and Activities: The Core Team will be collecting input from the wider community. If you're unable to commit to the full project period, but want to stay involved, this is an opportunity to provide your input on climate resilience priorities and location action and share information with your network. We'll be figuring out activity details in the coming months, but if you'd like to be included in our outreach, please let us know.Â
