OUR APPROACH 

Our Radical Collaboration Principles are how we accomplish our mission and vision. These principles inform all the work we do, including: the design of our programs, communication campaigns, and partnerships. Recognizing that a more just, climate resilient future is most effectively accomplished through partnership, we are always looking for co-collaborators whose values align with ours.

 
 
 

Youth-first

We prioritize the diverse needs and efforts of youth to ensure as many youth as possible can participate in climate action.

Creative

Creativity is a powerful way to process, learn, unlearn, and heal in the midst of the climate crisis. Complex, ambiguous problems often require imaginative solutions.

Inclusive

Accessibility and care are central to how we support youth. Participating in climate work is challenging and often requires youth to volunteer outside of school or work responsibilities. We need everyone to engage in the climate movement and be compensated fairly for their contributions.

Disruptive

Climate solutions are most effective when they address the root causes of climate change, moving beyond the status quo. This requires collective action which fosters resilience, community and tenacity.

Catalytic

To strategically address gaps in youth participation within the climate action ecosystem we amplify existing initiatives, and when we recognize a need that is not being met, we create new, innovative ways to collaborate and take action.

Equitable

We recognize that climate change has disproportionate impacts on equity deserving communities. As a settler-led organization based in Canada we seek to leverage our privilege to support and amplify frontline perspectives and approaches to the climate crisis.
