Our Mission 
The Camden Collaborative Initiative is a solutions-oriented partnership between governmental, non-profit, private, and community-based agencies formed to plan and implement innovative strategies to improve the environment, health, and quality of life for residents in Camden, NJ. 

Background

On January 24, 2013, the City of Camden, Camden Community Partnership, Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, launched the Camden Collaborative Initiative (CCI) to maintain, restore, and enhance the environmental resources in Camden, NJ.   CCI is made possible by the efforts and resources of multiple partners that have voluntarily come together to address the complex environmental issues present in the city.  CCI facilitates and leverages partnerships for proactive, holistic, and innovative solutions to help Camden become a vibrant sustainable city.

CCI is organized around four primary working groups that meet regularly on the topics of Water Resources, Air Quality, Waste Management,  and  Land.  Underlying all of the work of CCI is the consistent drive for justice and equity and motivation to educate the community as it builds the next generation of environmental stewards.
