CHOICES Youth Group
CHOICES EJ youth leadership program provides a safe space for Chester youth to discuss environmental concerns and learn how to organize and take action. Youth selected the name CHOICES to embody their desire to help others in making positive choices that better their community. CHOICES holds training workshops throughout the year covering topics like EJ 101, organizing and direct action, and green jobs education (such as solar installation and recycling). Core age is 11-18 year old, but all ages are welcome!
Campus Coalition Concerning Chester (C-4)
C-4 is CRCQL’s college student support group and an integral arm of the organization . In the 1990’s, CRCQL inspired the formation of the C-4 at Swarthmore College, 4 miles east of Chester, which now brings together students across 15 college and university campuses and 5 states to support environmental justice campaigns in Chester City and Delaware County. C-4 also works closely with CHOICES on different programs.
