What is the Community-Led Preparedness Training Project?
The Community-Led Preparedness Training project “CPT” is a workshop series to inform and empower residents of low income housing communities on how to better manage and prepare for a climate emergency. Knowing that it’s the impacted people themselves who have the wisdom, lived experiences and skills to address issues in their own communities, the CPT project was developed by Frontline community members for Frontline communities.
The initial workshops took place in 2022 in Red Oak, with 28 residents in both Spanish and English languages. Due to the positive impact of the workshops and high-demand for it, the CPT leaders implemented a Train-the-Trainers initiative in 2023, successfully certifying 19 community members to lead the CPT program in their own communities. This report details that activity and 2024 CPT project goals.

With climate change increasing the frequency and intensity of emergencies, we are seeking donations to support the Community-Led Preparedness Training classes in Boulder.
These classes equip under-resourced community members with crucial skills and knowledge to stay safe and prepared.
