The Northwest Institute for Community Enrichment unites grassroots leaders and community partners to create, define, and maintain proactive and entrepreneurial solutions to climate change.
The NICE is a volunteer led organization that coordinates support for local groups in developing creative and effective community organizing techniques, and in innovating and implementing community-based solutions in the Pacific Northwest. By working with communities to provide a solution oriented venue for jump-starting or moving forward efforts to create local sustainable communities, the NICE will act as a catalyst for real change towards a future that is sustainable, just, and prosperous for all.
The NICE will support a variety of projects including energy efficiency, local renewable energy, sustainable transportation, localized foods, and ethical waste projects to help communities become models of sustainability. Each Local Partner that launches will work to innovate ongoing, scalable, and replicable programs. By partnering with the NICE these solutionary community groups can act as models for other communities to use as they seek to get started. In this way we can work to simultaneously innovate and expand upon the solutions that are needed, and to create tangible changes that improve the life of communities across the Pacific Northwest.
The NICE has gone national! We are partnering with Grand Aspirations to assist in the development of a national solutionary community.
