Weekly Look-Ahead: May 13 to 19, 2024
10 May 2024 by Metro

Metro seeks to Partner with two Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to support an Equity Data Toolkit focused on Environmental Justice and Land Use. We seek CBOs with experience and expertise in research, environmental justice, equity assessments, and related topics. CBO partners will collaborate on developing the Toolkit, advise on stakeholder engagement, and review and give input on toolkit materials, such as user guides, memos, and staff training materials.
Up to two CBOs will be chosen and compensated for assisting with this project between May 2024 and June 2025. Interested organizations can join Metro’s CBO Database, navigate to the “Opportunity Center” page, and indicate interest in the Equity Data Toolkit – Environmental Justice and Land Use Module project before May 24, 2024.
