New England Environmental
Justice Hub
Collaborate with us to amplify impact and create meaningful change across New England. A regional intermediary accelerating community-driven environmental justice solutions.
New England Leaders Cohort
Participating organizations receive a stipend and support from the EJ Hub, proud sponsor of the New England Leaders Cohort (NELC), a 12-month capacity-building and peer-learning initiative for organizations advancing community-driven climate resilience, clean energy, conservation, and environmental justice work across all six New England states. Pro bono support is coordinated by the Conservation Capacity Project, with Community of Practice sessions facilitated by Habitus. The goal: build state anchors that strengthen the regional ecosystem and sustain the momentum of the past few years.

Coventry, Vermont, flooding, July 2023
Communities across New England face climate change, rising energy costs, and pollution — and these issues disproportionately affect the region's most vulnerable communities, historically underinvested in and underserved.
Whether it's rural Maine or an urban neighborhood in Connecticut, we show up where there's need. We rely on the people on the ground to tell us what their communities are prioritizing — that isn't ours to decide.
How the EJ Hub Came to Be
From a 2023 regional convening to the partners who make this work possible.
Advancing Projects
Helping organizations move climate, clean energy, and conservation projects forward.
Support Community-Driven Solutions
We support the solutions communities design for their own environmental challenges.
Amplify Resources
We share what's out there — philanthropy, state and municipal funds, green banks, CDFIs, revolving loan funds — and connect organizations to the right one when it makes sense.
Provide Navigational Support
We help coalitions and nonprofits find the technical assistance and capacity-building support their projects need.
Supporting Movement Builders
Strengthening the people, coalitions, and organizations carrying this work.
Strengthen Organizations
Through the New England Leaders Cohort and our partnership with the Conservation Capacity Project, organizations get pro bono coaching and peer learning that lasts beyond one grant cycle.
Connect Coalitions
We link movement builders and coalition leaders across all six states, and back the convenings that bring them together.
Build Regional Resilience
Organizations connected to each other and to resources hold steadier when conditions change. We build that through site visits, cohort work, and convening.

A Funder Introduction
We put in a good word with a funder on a coalition's behalf. Within weeks, that coalition had a $25,000 grant award in hand — a turnaround they credited directly to the introduction.
A National Cohort Connection
After a brief conversation about their needs, we routed a New England organization to a national clean energy cohort — and they got in.
Regular Check-Ins
No agenda required. We check in with organizations because relationships, not transactions, are what hold this region together.
Site Visits and Convenings
From an Indigenous-led convening in Maine to a visit to Western Massachusetts to understand conditions on the ground.
Get Involved
Over the past 18 months we've built connections across community coalitions, philanthropy, national technical assistance partners, and state and municipal government.
We work with coalitions, community organizations, and Tribal organizations leading climate, clean energy, and conservation projects or advancing policy initiatives across New England. Contact us.
