Prairie Rivers Network

The Thriving Communities Webinar Series, kicking off in January 2024, is a part of University of Illinois Extension’s effort to build capacity for technical assistance and education aimed to help communities navigate energy- and environment-related federal grant application systems, provide guidance on community inclusion, and lead community-specific strategic planning.

The center, led by Humphrey School faculty, has goals of equitable funding and hands-on help for underserved communities.
