Are you interested in supporting climate action in your community?
Join us for this workshop!

The “Become a Community Climate Leader” workshop brings together college and high school students from front line communities throughout Oregon and Washington to train, plan, and engage in community-based climate justice work.

Through this workshop, students will be supported to complete climate justice initiatives or projects that are unique to their particular communities. Students will become part of a network of diverse community leaders who support each other’s work and will take meaningful steps toward enhancing climate education and action in our region.

The 3-day workshop will be taught August 14-16, 2023, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Lewis & Clark College. Workshop attendance is free, will include meals, potential for project stipends, and will be followed by ongoing support throughout the subsequent year. This workshop is open to current high school and college students in Oregon and Washington.

Please check back for a formal detailed schedule. Please apply by July 30, as the workshop size is limited. To learn more about our curriculum or apply to participate, see the information below!
