Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW) is a civic and social organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that supports local leaders in building grassroots climate resilience. By promoting inclusive and hands-on education, service, and planning, CREW seeks to equip families and communities with resources and capacity to prepare for and respond to local climate changes in an equitable, sustainable, and collaborative manner. Operating within the civic and social sectors, the organization works to translate community needs into practical resilience efforts at the local level, aligning its activities with nearby partners and networks. CREW is a small network, focused on enabling local initiatives rather than delivering centralized programs, and has engaged in collaborative partnerships to expand its reach, including connections with state and regional organizations. Recent developments include partnerships that extend training and collaboration with other groups working on climate preparedness and related programs.
