We INpower underserved and overburdened communities through community science, collaborative problem-solving, and partnerships with grassroots organizations. Our work blends education, outreach, capacity-building, research, and technology to create lasting impact.

Based in the Mid-Atlantic and connected nationwide, we serve as a bridge—linking front-line and fence-line communities, community-based organizations, advocates, health professionals, educators, researchers, policymakers, and government agencies. Together, we drive community-centered solutions that advance environmental justice and health equity.

CEEJH INC began as the Center for Community Engagement, Environmental Justice and Health, in 2011, when it was founded by Dr. Sacoby Wilson, within the University of Maryland, Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health. The Center’s primary focus was to engage highly and differentially exposed populations and underserved communities with environmental justice and health issues.

In spring 2024, Dr. Wilson spun the Center off from his work at the University of Maryland, as the Center for Engagement, Environmental Justice and Health INpowering Communities (CEEJH INC). The Center is currently fiscally sponsored by Movement Strategy Center (MSC).
