UCAN! has been selected as a 2026–2027 North Carolina Black Alliance Environmental Justice Mini Grant recipient — chosen from the most competitive applicant pool in the program's history. This $5,000 award funds the UCAN EJ Health Navigator and Youth Ambassador Program: a Brunswick County environmental-learning project with a planned Youth Ambassador cohort. The public testing beta offers public-source resources, fictional learning scenarios, and prewritten sample answers. It does not provide live AI, live alerts, or personal risk assessments.
COMING SOON
