The Micro-Community Collaborative (MCC) is a flagship program of the SLO Climate Coalition. It was founded in 2019 as a grassroots people’s movement that inspires, educates, and empowers San Luis Obispo county locals. It encourages community collaboration to build a sense of belonging, foster resiliency, protect and conserve the environment. We orient toward a just and sustainable society. Our mission is to empower the development of resilient and sustainable neighborhoods – one Micro-Community at a time. This is accomplished through community building programs, resource and education sharing, and advocacy.
40% of our community’s emissions come from common residential actions, and we have the power today to reduce community-wide emissions, save households hundreds of dollars, and create healthier, more resilient communities. We believe in a world where everyone is empowered to act on the climate crisis, and this position will build the groundswell of engagement and support for this belief to become reality.
MCC is partnered with BrightAction, a robust web based platform, to provide deep community engagement to build community resilience to the impacts of climate change. Utilizing BrightAction, our mission is to empower people on climate solutions! The BrightAction platform makes it simple, easy, and fun for community members to learn about climate and sustainability solutions and actions they can take. BrightAction is a one-stop shop where community members can find everything they need – including local information and resources. Participants work together in teams to build fun, meaningful engagement. Combined with best practice community organizing strategies such as our team leader and youth engagement programs, BrightAction provides a powerful tool to advance climate solutions.
