Climate Ambassadors Promotoras Climacticas

The Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR), on behalf of the City and County of Denver, is seeking qualified organizations to lead neighborhood engagement campaigns. These campaigns will focus on climate action and behavior change. They will also focus on neighborhoods that are part of Denver's Neighborhood Equity & Stabilization (NEST) program . CASR anticipates awarding one or more contracts up to $480,000 for a three (3) year term. The City reserves the right to offer the chosen proposers one or more extensions of the Contract for up to an additional two (2) years and additional funding if it comes available under this RFP.

CASR seeks one or more qualified organizations to lead climate-resilient neighborhood engagement campaigns. Qualified organizations must be community-based. Respondents should offer actionable solutions that the community members can implement. These solutions should aim to reduce vulnerabilities and increase resiliency to the effects of climate change.

Community-based organizations will lead campaigns to provide information to community members and stakeholders. The campaign will also gather information from participants to tailor solutions and strategies for their community. Solutions should be available and accessible for community members to adopt. These solutions will help increase neighborhood resilience and reduce the impacts of climate change. All selected organizations will be expected to work with CASR to advance CASR-run programs, incentives, and strategies.

The goal of this work is to engage and build trust with the community on climate action and resiliency. The Community Climate Ambassadors/Promotoras Climacticas support community members to adopt sustainable behaviors and navigate city programs.
