An online program with Cherice Bock
Tuesdays in May, 2026
(May 5, 12, 19 and 26)
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM Pacific Time

As we begin to feel the impacts of climate change, it’s important to help shape our local communities to be more resilient. We will need the ability to respond and recover when there are climate emergencies, and the ability to work together to lower our climate impact. Faith communities, including Quaker meetings, could have an important role as hubs for community connection, and find ways to use their buildings and grounds in ways that help heal their local ecosystems.

This virtual workshop series will offer suggestions and examples of ways that individuals and faith communities can begin to build climate resilient communities. It will include community organizing, types of projects that groups might take on, and tools and resources to get you started.

It would be ideal if you can sign up with 1-2 others from your Quaker meeting or neighborhood, but please take the workshop even if you aren’t part of a group at this time.
