In partnership with the
THE CSN PARTNERSHIP
The CSN Partnership is a joint effort between Groundwork Ohio River Valley and Green Umbrella. The Partnership developed equitable community engagement processes that center the voices and priorities of historically underserved communities in community planning. Together Groundwork and Green Umbrella also support the implementation of neighborhood-level projects, and the incorporation of justice into regional policies and government activities.
Collaborating with local city officials and community organizations, they establish neighborhood Advisory Groups (CAG) to address extreme heat and flooding, support community leaders in leadership development in equitable planning, and influence action on environmental safety, disaster resilence and infrastructure initiatives identified.
