For our third installment in our “EJ with EWB” series, we talk to Natalie Celmo and Ellie Carley of EWB-USA, both of who lead the Community Engineering Corps (CECorps). CECorps works with communities across the United States that are unable to easily retain or afford traditional engineering services. We were able to discuss the path that Ellie and Natalie both took to get to EWB-USA and the origins of CECorps. They also spoke about why it’s so important for EWB-USA to do engineering work in the United States, along with the reality that environmental injustice and a lack of basic services is a major problem in the United States, as well as around the world.

Enjoy our conversation!
