EXAMPLE

S

Large geographic area Limited / various levels of experience

in environmental strategies, policy approaches and related skills

Undeveloped relationships with colleges

Limited data on persons aged 18 – 25 Engaging and sustaining participation

from youth & diverse communities Lack of support for environmental /

public policy strategies Time & commitment necessary

Potential Barriers

EXAMPLES

TA and training from state providers & other experts

Presentations from practitioners who have successfully implemented environmental / policy approaches in communities

Communication & media strategies Build on existing relationships Stipends for volunteers Outreach to diverse communities in

the focus region Planning with youth and a diverse

representation of the focus region
