Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for webinars on the dangers of lead and ways to reduce and prevent lead exposure. The webinars will focus on the Lead Awareness Curriculum, an adaptable resource for educating and protecting communities from potential lead exposure.
These webinars are intended for community leaders with experience educating and training members of their communities. The webinars will teach attendees how to use and modify the Lead Awareness Curriculum to educate their communities about lead, lead exposure, and actions to reduce and prevent childhood lead exposure. Prior knowledge of lead or lead exposure is not needed to use the curriculum and attendees will receive a digital certificate of participation after completing the session.

Last year, EPA launched its Community Lead Awareness Initiative, a series of free, in-person educational sessions, focusing on communities that are especially vulnerable to lead exposure. This focus reflects EPA’s commitment to promoting environmental justice in parts of the country disproportionately impacted by lead, as described in the Agency-wide Lead Strategy released in October 2022. Since launching the initiative, more than 2,800 people from 102 communities have participated in 127 educational sessions. The initiative also supports the Lead Strategy’s commitment to using various methods — including the development of new and improved outreach materials — to reduce lead exposure and educate communities on the risks of lead exposure.
