Community Organizer

At Community Action Works, we believe that environmental threats are big, but the power of well-organized community groups is bigger.

Community Action Works empowers people and local organizations, offering training, organizing and other resources needed to stop and clean up pollution at the local level. Since 1987, our team has worked with groups in more than 1,000 communities and trained over 20,000 people across the Northeast to confront local environmental threats and the polluters behind them.

We don’t just believe in the power of well-organized community groups. We help groups prove their power and use it to make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of people, whether it means closing down a toxic incinerator in Massachusetts, cleaning up a leaking landfill in Maine, blocking a dangerous pipeline in New Hampshire, preventing pesticide contamination in Vermont, or shuttering dirty power plants in Connecticut.
