Eco Social Justice Grants | Basic needs at PCC Eco Social Justice Grants At PCC, we’re all in this together. Issues of environmental degradation, inequality, and economic disparity impact us all. We value our student, staff, and faculty’s commitment to sustainability and our culture of collaborative, innovative problem solving.
From our learning gardens and water bottle fill stations to our rental bike and food justice programs, we have been working together to address our community’s most pressing ecological and social justice challenges with fresh ideas. The Green Initiative Fund, now named the Eco Social Justice Grant was established by student leaders in 2008.
This grant exists so that students, staff, and faculty can participate in our culture of innovation and contribute meaningful advances to sustainable practices.
