Description: Are you passionate about protecting water for your community? The Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) Tribal Wellbeing for Seven Generations Program invites Tribal leaders and Tribal environmental professionals from across the Colorado River Basin to apply for the Living Waters, Resilient Nations Cohort!
The Living Waters, Resilient Nations (LWRN) Cohort is a 6-month long learning experience taking place from November 2025 through May 2026. The Cohort is hosted by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) Tribal Wellbeing for Seven Generations Program (TW7G), and will bring together Tribal leaders, Tribal community members, Tribal environmental professionals, and Knowledge Holders from across the Colorado River Basin.
The primary goal of the LWRN Cohort is to ensure that Tribes in the basin have the tools and resources they need to build their capacity and knowledge in developing and maintaining climate resilient water infrastructure.
To that end, over the course of the LWRN Cohort, cohort members will participate in interactive cohort meetings (virtual via Zoom, 1.5 hours each) that include an orientation, presentations from Tribal water experts, Tribal case studies, and small and large-group discussions and activities. In addition, they'll have the opportunity to develop and deepen their network of Tribal colleagues working on water issues in the Basin, and receive direct support from ITEP staff through one-on-one technical assistance both during and after the LWRN cohort.
Program Dates: November 19th, 2025 – May 2026
Format: Bi-monthly virtual sessions (Wednesdays, 11 AM–12:30 PM MST)
Bonus: Travel-covered for an in-person workshop at the end of the cohort
