Community Action for a Renewed Environment or CARE is a unique community-based, community-driven, multimedia demonstration program designed to help communities understand and reduce risks due to toxics and environmental pollutants from all sources. Since 2005, EPA has awarded cooperative agreements in two levels of competitive grants from tribal and local governments and various local organizations, including non-profits, citizens, businesses, schools, and community organizations to form collaborative partnerships for addressing toxics in their local environment.

The CARE program will have the third National Training Workshop October 30 - November 2, 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia.  The training workshop is for representatives from 48 CARE community partnerships, EPA staff in headquarters and the Regions working on CARE, state representatives, and selected speakers and trainers.
