Now Accepting Early Applications for Scale Up!

Now in its second year, Scale Up is accepting early applications from businesses and nonprofits seeking to develop the knowledge and skills to implement a sustainability project that reduces their impact, benefits their community, and gets them recognized for building a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable economy in Arizona. Scale Up is a 7 week cohort-based workshop series that offers the unique opportunity for businesses to go from education and collaboration to planning, benchmarking, financing, and implementation - all in one accessible package. Since the start of the program at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 46 Arizona businesses and nonprofits have since launched various projects addressing energy, water, waste, transportation,  developing a culture of sustainability, diversity, equity, inclusion, and more with ongoing support from the Local First Arizona Sustainability Team.

Space in each Scale Up cohort is limited to provide a personalized and deeply collaborative experience for participating businesses. Click here or email Nick Shivka directly at nick@localfirstaz.com to apply or learn more today!
