EPN's national environmental policy work focuses on preserving, protecting, and improving public health and the environment by ensuring that EPA advances progressive 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 roundtables for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to learn more about what it’s like to work for EPA and provide helpful ideas about navigating the federal hiring process and USAJobs. In addition, our members serve as a resource to teachers and career counselors; guest lecture and speak on panels; and mentor students, young professionals, and current EPA staff.
