climate resilience

This week, we explore how music, storytelling, and environmental leadership are bringing our communities together. First, we’ll hear from the Master Chorale’s Outreach Committee about the power of choral music to connect people and inspire participation. Next, local author Chris Blake shares his journey of searching for meaning and connection in his new book, Searching for a God to Love. And finally, we’ll talk with leaders from Cal Poly’s Initiative for Climate Leadership and Resilience about their work to support regenerative agriculture and climate solutions through the Zero Foodprint program.

Girls Inc. in Carpinteria is a girls’ leadership program and a place for after-school care. Now, it’s a climate resilience hub for the neighborhood, too. The non-profit is prepared to serve as a community gathering space during extreme heat events.

The County of Santa Barbara received one million dollars to develop programs that will make the rural community more resilient in extreme weather events.
