Community Resilience
The Community Resilience team works alongside local residents to build a safer, stronger, and more connected Marin community through grassroots leadership, emergency preparedness, and climate justice. We focus especially on serving the Canal and other communities most impacted by environmental and systemic inequities, with a commitment to bilingual, culturally relevant outreach.
Lifting Leaders
United in Resiliency
Lifting Leaders, the core program of the Community Resilience department supporting community led initiatives in the Canal. It’s comprised of longtime residents, parents, and youth who build leadership, advocacy, and digital literacy skills through climate justice projects that matter to their community. To date, Leaders have spoken at city council meetings, hosted community events, and participated in local radio shows to raise awareness and spark change.
