Our Programs
Core PROGRAMS
What we do is informed by our Shifts, the three categories which ensure our efforts contribute towards youth (ages 18-30) becoming active participants in climate-decision making spaces. The three shifts are Skills, Policy and Finance, as described below. Our work addresses gaps in youth skill development, inclusion in policy, and access to financial resources in order to ensure meaningful youth participation.
SKILLS SHIFT
We work to prepare youth to thrive despite the multitude of disruptions we will face in our lives due to climate change. Our work strives to ensure that youth have opportunities to grow the required skills to participate in climate action.
POLICY SHIFT
We advocate for youth voices to be valued and integrated into climate policies at every level of jurisdiction. Our initiatives demystify policy-making processes so that youth can more easily infiltrate decision-making spaces. This works to further climate policy that is evidence-based and led by frontline community members, especially youth.
FINANCE SHIFT
Our work in this shift will improve the employability and leadership of youth within the green jobs ecosystem. We distribute funds to directly support youth-led climate solutions. We also advocate for youth to have increased direct access to financial resources.
