Community Support

Around the country, many communities don’t have the resources needed to address pressing infrastructure challenges that impact their day to day lives. Even when grant funding is available, many struggle to obtain it without engineering experts in their corner to guide them. 

That’s where Community Engineering Corps comes in.

Who We Work With

“Community” broadly encompasses many people, groups, and organizations contributing to a community’s well-being. This could include municipalities, utility companies, nonprofits, or well-organized groups making change. We welcome applications from any underserved or overburdened community looking for engineering assistance.

How We Help

A community or organization identifies a need for engineering or technical consulting services yet cannot access traditional for-hire consultancy options. If the request is a fit for our expertise, we provide essential services to navigating regulatory compliance, securing necessary funding, or overcoming other barriers to successful project implementation.

 

Services We Provide
