Partners for Environmental Cultural Connectedness (PECC) is a group derived from Partners for Education about the Environment.  PECC’s mission is: To foster a cross-cultural connection between the Southern Nevada community and their environment through education and outreach.

Goals:
1.  To promote respectful inclusion of Hispanic people in the nearby environment
2.  Create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere
3.  To increase effectiveness of education and outreach for Hispanic audiences

All are welcome to join our monthly planning meetings (see Calendar or call Allison for additional information). PECC’s first action item is to develop and implement a questionnaire to:

• identify who is using or is interested in using public lands, museums, and natural places (and barriers to use);
• identify how to train staff on creating the welcoming atmosphere;
• identify what kinds of events and/or programs that we can use to get messages out;
• identify our messages.
