Frequently asked questions
How do I find a CCL chapter in Virginia?
Check the chapter map and cards above to find the group closest to you, or fill out the join form and we’ll connect you with your local team automatically based on your zip code.
Can I participate if there isn’t a chapter in my part of Virginia?
Absolutely. Many Virginia volunteers participate from areas without a nearby chapter — joining chapter meetings on Zoom, taking monthly actions from home, or volunteering with one of CCL’s national Action Teams.
Does CCL Virginia work on state-level policy?
CCL’s primary focus is federal climate policy, but Virginia chapters also engage with state legislators and support state-level climate solutions where they complement our national strategy.
What are the top climate issues in Virginia?
Virginians are facing rising seas and recurrent flooding in Hampton Roads, hotter summers statewide, and decisions about how the Commonwealth builds out clean energy — from offshore wind to solar — that will shape jobs and energy costs for decades.
