A certified facilitator can provide you with crucial guidance and support, ensuring that community-driven planning is not only effective but also inclusive, responsive, and attuned to the real needs of climate-impacted communities.

NACRP is not responsible for the outcomes of matched facilitation requests. We strive to provide a supportive relationship to both those seeking a facilitator and those who provide facilitation and understand that our role has limits since we are not directly providing services to either party. Where we can be of support to ensure trust-building and mutually respectful engagements we are committed to being values aligned with community-led ownership for racial equity and climate justice.

"Being a part of the NACRP network/community has been monumental in the development of the Environmental Justice Curriculum, training our summer interns, the facilitation of community talk story days, and the development of our plans for building a more climate resilient community."

"NACRP to me represents the fruition of many hopes and dreams from activists that came before me who paved the way for organizers like myself to find a hub of support and tools they wished they had to uplift our communities. NACRP is building the dream hub for facilitators whose mission is seeing their community liberated and empowered to lead future generations to thrive."
Karla Juarez
Program Coordinator, Community Organizer Unconfined
Matching Fee
We currently have a sliding scale for an applied fee when there is a successful match for Facilitation. This is only applied when NACRP is involved in the coordination of a contracted fee for service facilitation. This small fee is applied to the contracting entity, not the facilitator, in order to offset our costs for playing a coordination role. Please let us know if you have any questions about this at nacrp@climateinnovation.net
