IRS990/Desc0RURAL PROGRAMMING: CDI is working to help bridge the urban/rural divide to de-politicize the crises of climate and democracy. CDI built relationships and partnered with Colorado State University and the University of Colorado - Denver to submit a request for a planning grant, which the partnership was awarded. With this grant, CDI built out the ECLIPSE (Environmental Civics in Leadership: Project for Student Engagement) program. Through teacher training, student-led community projects, and partnerships with local non-profits and industry champions, the ECLIPSE program is cultivating civically engaged leaders who can drive sustainable development in their communities.
