Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Engaged in work to end lead poisoning and other environmental hazards.

  • -Funds were used to offer training programs and general project support of UPAL activities relative to our Solar Powered Community resiliency Hub in Petersburg. Related training led to certifications and Workforce Development while creating healthy homes through Building Electrification. An independent training space was launched to offer weatherization and residential energy efficient courses including energy audits. Contributed to our ability to provide stipends for volunteers.

    Expenses $140,000 · Grants $140,000 · Revenue $140,000

  • -Resources used to support Region 3 partners through CEEJH/MATCH and GHHI initiatives that further the missions of climate and justice organizations. Supports development and training activities and apprenticeship opportunities. Supports employee safety, health and wellness. UPAL began to build out plans to install a Food Forest with general operating support that allowed us to engage in coalition building and grassroots organizing around sustainable agriculture and food systems. Meetings to convene partner organizations to increase capacity and provide support in areas of climate justice and a just energy transition.

    Expenses $80,000 · Grants $80,000 · Revenue $80,000

  • Funds were used to continue to close the economic gap building equity and alignment in the Pburg community through the maintenance of a solar powered resiliency hub, which served 1,800 individuals in 2025. The Hub limits the impacts of power outages and provides temporary shelter during climate crises. Funds made it possible for UPAL to ensure energy resiliency used to power administrative offices, classrooms and all common areas while also providing community members access to gather and utilize services. Funds also contributed to awareness raising campaigns / events and other advocacy activities that support organizational and leadership development. In addition we worked with the city of Petersburg on Flood Resilience which includes flood zone mapping and initiation of a project to establish Community Flood Ambassadors.
