The Community Environmental Workgroup (CEW) is a collaboration of business, community, nonprofit, and government organizations that will help guide the CARE project.   CEW members’ diverse backgrounds in community engagement, education and training, and environmental risk will be enlisted throughout the CARE process as we work to identify and prioritize environmental risks in the community.

CEW members will meet roughly monthly, through tasks forces or meetings of the whole, to advise the project.  The CEW includes over two dozen organizations with expertise on childhood health issues, community engagement, community gardening, contaminated land, economic development and jobs,  household lead, indoor and outdoor air quality,  and water quality.
