EcoAmerica has received a $40,000 grant from Allegany Franciscan Ministries to support climate justice efforts in Florida, specifically focusing on expanding the Climate Ambassadors Program. With a current base of over 150 active Climate Ambassadors in the state, the funding will allow for the development of new training modules and the translation of materials into English and Spanish. This initiative aims to increase resilience to extreme heat and promote community-led climate action, reaching more Floridians with trusted information and tools for addressing climate risks faced by vulnerable populations. The overall goal is to build safer, healthier, and more just communities in Florida in response to the challenges of a changing climate.
