Our Purpose

Seacoast CAN believes  that the urgency of our regional & global challenges requires Action NOW with the understanding that we are ALL in this together. We have 5 working groups WRAD, Veg'n Out Seacoast, TCAG, Portsmouth Climate Action, and ReUseable Portsmouth, currently a pilot project.  The groups include board and community members designed to address our urgent climate issues locally first.  We are a fully volunteer board in need of a project manager who can coordinate all the projects currently moving forward.  We need materials, an updated logo and website. 

Summary of Projects

In 2011 SEAREI received a grant to support a part-time program director to increase outreach and participation in their programs.

In 2009, the group received a grant to purchase needed equipment (tools for energy raisers); to purchase marketing materials (banners, posters, borchures, stationary); to pay fees necessary to develop a solid web site.
