Environmental Justice Academy provides participants with skills to identify their environmental challenges and accomplish their communities’ environmental improvement goals.

The EJ Seminar encourages collaborative problem solving with community-based organizations, local government, small businesses, academic institutions, and industry, to create a shared vision so that all who are a part of the community can have a voice.

The EJ Seminar goals are as follows: (1) leverage human, social, intellectual, technical, legal, and financial resources to make long-term progress in communities; (2) use consensus-building processes and skills to help ensure successful collaboration and negotiations; (3) increase capacity to address communities’ environmental and/or public health issues; and (4) develop a basic understanding of environmental justice and environmental regulations.
