Tribal Energy Communications and Engagement
The objective of this program is to help federally recognized tribes navigate and access DOE funding and technical assistance opportunities by amplifying DOE messaging and creative effective engagement opportunities for member tribes.
Connected Communities
Connection protects us all. Connected Communities focuses on culturally grounded strategies to prevent sexual violence in rural and Tribal communities, rooted in teachings of love, respect, belonging, and collective care. The project aims to increase understanding of how everyone can help prevent sexual violence. The Connected Communities campaign inspires individuals and communities to shift the way we think about others and take action. By sharing personal stories of community connection, we can all learn how to play a role in prevention.
Be a part of creating safer, stronger communities by exploring ways that you can inspire action. Visit the page, then share the stories on social media to help grow awareness and community action.
