Prairie Rivers Network

The clean energy transition is well underway, as Prairie Rivers Network’s Amanda Pankau saw firsthand last week in Washington D.C. 

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.
