After receiving a request for pro bono legal services, our team, made up of volunteer lawyers, speaks with the organization to define their legal needs and assure the authenticity of the request. We then reach out to our wonderful pro bono attorneys, without whom Green Pro Bono would not be possible. We direct pro bono opportunities to lawyers and law firms depending on the specialty required, and then smoothly hand over the pre-packaged legal request. We stay in touch throughout the pro bono services relationship.

EPA has selected 16 Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (EJ TCTACs) tasked with removing barriers and improving accessibility for communities with environmental justice concerns. These centers will provide training and other assistance to build capacity for navigating federal grant application systems, developing strong grant proposals, and effectively managing grant funding. In addition, these centers will provide guidance on community engagement, meeting facilitation, and translation and interpretation services for limited English-speaking participants, thus removing barriers and improving accessibility for communities with environmental justice concerns. Each of the technical assistance centers will also create and manage communication channels to ensure all communities have direct access to resources and information.

FEMA will offer wide-ranging non-financial support to BRIC DTA communities, including climate risk assessments, community engagement, partnership building, and mitigation and climate adaptation planning. Support for BRIC DTA communities can range from pre-application activities to grant closeout.
