SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Creating a "Buddy System" for At-Risk Persons: A How-To for Communities
DESCRIPTION:With the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting everyday life\, vulnerable populations need support now more than ever before. During this one-hour webinar\, hear how Lawrenceville United\, Cranberry Township\, and the Triboro Ecodistrict are implementing safe “buddy systems” to address this need. These initiatives can provide immediate support today\, and can also build a foundation of volunteers for a lasting community-response initiative. \nLawrenceville United’s buddy system pairs volunteers with community members who need a little extra help during this time. Volunteers can do check-in phone calls\, pick up and deliver groceries/prescriptions\, prepare home-cooked meals\, provide pet care\, and more — while taking extra safety precautions during COVID-19 — for older adults and other high-risk members of the community. Numerous city of Pittsburgh neighborhoods\, the Triboro Ecodistrict\, and others are replicating this program. Cranberry Township independently developed a similar system for helping at-risk community members in their municipality. Their Community Response Team was created on-the-fly by converting their mid-winter Snow Angels effort\, which is designed to support older and less able-bodied residents. \nJoin this free webinar on Thursday\, April 16 at 1pm to hear representatives from these communities share their processes\, forms\, experiences\, and other tools necessary to get this program started in your neighborhood or municipality. \nWho Should Attend: \nRepresentatives of Community Development Corporations\, Neighborhood/Main Street Groups\, Municipal Staff\, Elected Officials \n>>REGISTER HERE<<

SUMMARY:Cleantech Open 2020 Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Cleantech Open is the oldest and largest accelerator for cleantech startups. It’s like a mini MBA. We run once a year for about 5 months\, with most of the programming in the summer months. It’s virtual\, with mentoring\, an on-line curriculum\, several in-person events in Boston and New York\, showcasing\, lots of networking including introductions to investors and strategics\, and opportunities to compete for $40\,000 in cash prizes and over $200\,000 in in-kind products and services. Plus\, our Global Forum event brings together all the startups in that year’s cohort from around the world for more prizes\, showcasing\, investor connections\, and networking. In the Northeast we cover from Canada to Pennsylvania\, and each cohort is 25-40 startups. We run about 30 events per year. We have over 400 alumni in the Northeast since 2005\, and there are over 1500 worldwide. The 2019 Cleantech Open Northeast cohort is doing really well. Collectively they raised over $4 million between the start of the accelerator in May and December 2019\, and several already have customers.
