ABOUT

A support network advancing collaboration, connection, and opportunity.

CT Eco Collective connects cross-sector professionals throughout Connecticut to build relationships, share momentum, and move work forward together.

We are made up of early- and mid-career professionals working in environmental, civic, nonprofit, policy, planning, and community spaces — or adjacent to them — who want to connect beyond their silo.

For thinkers and doers ready for a shared future that works for the people and the planet.

WHAT WE DO

Events, conversations, and gatherings across Connecticut.

We host the kinds of moments that help people meet peers, exchange ideas, and spark collaboration beyond a single organization or sector.

PILLAR · 01

Fill Your Cup

Connection that sustains the work — gatherings built for community, fun, and belonging where you show up as your full self.

PILLAR · 02

Build Momentum

Structured events designed for learning, idea exchange, and the kind of conversations that move people and projects forward.

PILLAR · 03

Cross the Silos

We bring environmental, civic, policy, and planning professionals into the same room — across organizations and sectors.

PILLAR · 04

Support the People

Too many people doing good work feel isolated. We exist to support connection, shared purpose, and the humans behind the mission.
