Grassroots Community Organizing
For over 25 years, CHEJ's experienced organizing staff has helped thousands of community groups form, grow, and win their fights to protect children's health at the local level and beyond. We provide personal assistance over the phone, in person, and over the Internet, to help individuals form a group, define their goals and develop a plan to reach them. CHEJ empowers groups by providing them with the tools they need to organize and win.
Whether it's switching your school to green cleaning products, getting environmental testing for contaminants at a proposed school site, or ensuring public participation in major decisions impacting children's environmental health, we can help you organize to achieve your goals.
