OUR APPROACH

The first call when the community needs to be at the table — not in the audience.

GC Green’s community engagement practice exists because most clean energy projects don’t fail on technology. They fail when the communities they affect weren’t part of the conversation. Liz Perez-Rodriguez is an enrolled citizen of the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians — and tribal and disadvantaged community engagement isn’t a service line we added. It’s how the firm has worked since day one.
