EPN's national environmental policy work focuses on preserving, protecting, and improving public health and the environment by ensuring that EPA advances protective policies, budgets, and institutional changes.
EPN’s pro bono Capacity-Building Technical Assistance Program provides assistance to communities; NGOs; and state, local, and tribal agencies disproportionately impacted by environmental and health issues. EPN's network of volunteers assists organizations to more effectively and meaningfully participate in government decision-making by helping them navigate EPA, potential grants, regulatory processes, federal policies, and publicly available data to support their work.
In partnership with the EPA Alumni Association, EPN conducts educational roundtables for students who want to learn more about what it’s like to work in the environmental sector for federal, state, and local government, as well as the NGO space, and can provide helpful ideas about navigating the federal hiring process and USAJobs. In addition, our members serve as a resource to teachers and career counselors; give guest lectures and speak on panels; and mentor students and young professionals.
