Developing a Training Tool for Community Engagement
The Ask: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) needed a tool to help local and state governments incorporate engagement with communities into their grant-funded projects.
The Solution: In collaboration with OAR staff, MDB designed and developed a 7-page booklet to help local and state governments create or expand their plans to engage communities MDB provided planning, copy editing, graphic design, and Section 508-compliance support. The booklet is an effective tool to provide a visual and written roadmap for grant recipients as they develop community engagement plans.
Notable Outcomes: EPA praised the booklet as a beautiful and useful resource and planned to share it with others. The booklet was disseminated to grant recipient listservs and published on the EPA website.
