Nature Everywhere Communities Peer Learning Network: Coalition Building

Join our October Nature Everywhere Action Challenge Communities Peer Learning Network (PLN) event, where our presenters will focus on our Coalition Builder actions. These actions include engaging your community using an equity lens. The actions help ensure that children of color and children experiencing poverty — children who have been historically excluded from having regular nature access — are included moving forward.

This public PLN event gives you a glimpse into what support is available to you, if you were to join the Action Challenge. The PLN is designed to offer our Nature Everywhere Communities the support, resources, and network they’ll need to advance their community’s efforts. By staying involved in the PLN, teams strengthen their ability to create lasting change in their community. Peer learning calls, facilitated by staff, allow for deep dives into specific tools to support Action Challenge teams on their Nature Everywhere journey. The format includes a presentation featuring other community teams with time for discussion and reflection.

Nature Everywhere Communities builds on what we’ve learned from the Cities Connecting Children to Nature initiative, through which municipal leaders have been advancing equitable access to nature since 2014. Nature Everywhere Communities is an expansion of this work, recognizing that we need leaders from city government, education, nonprofits, philanthropy, community organizations and the private sector to drive systems-level change.

Who should attend? Ideally, anyone looking for an opportunity to become a Nature Everywhere Community. If you’re unsure about how your local goals may align with the Action Challenge, or aren’t sure if your cross-sector team might be eligible, contact Christian at christian@childrenandnature.org.
