Eco Crews

Together we can make a difference

Our Goal

Eco.Crews are spaces to learn about important environmental topics, build community among the climate concerned, and deepen understandings of individual and systemic levers for action.

Individuals are placed in small groups ("crews") that meet weekly for 7 consecutive weeks. Each crew has an expert facilitator to guide the group’s discussions and each week there is a call to action.

The program is open to anyone residing in Chicago or Washington, D.C whether they are climate curious or a climate expert.

Sign up! If you live in Chicago or Washington, D.C., registration is now open:

Our Impact

I loved being a Climate Change Crews member! The space that Eco.Logic provided was exactly what I needed – a community of folks who are passionate about climate action. The facilitators were resourceful and kept the community engaged!

Climate Change Crew Participant
I loved seeing what every individual uniquely brought to the table. We all shared resources, asked questions of each other, and challenged each other's ideas in the best way possible. After the month, I feel like we only scratched the surface of these issues and can't wait to maintain this community to dig deeper.

Climate Change Crews Facilitator
The climate crew helped rejuvenate my attitude toward individual action and helped me think through my spheres of influence better. I felt inspired each week to think more broadly about my personal actions and conversations I can have with my peers. Thank you so much!
