Registration is open for Youth Climate Leaders Academy

Do you know a high school student who wants to make a difference on climate change? Registration is now open for VEEP's Youth Climate Leaders Academy.

Youth Climate Leaders Academy is designed to support VT and NH high school youth in planning and implementing projects to make a difference on climate change. The projects are the students', but our program and partners provide resources and professional consultation as they figure out where to start, how to plan, who to connect with, how to grow professional skills, identify leverage points, measure impact & more. Parts of our events and planning are also youth-led as we work to help support and empower young people, and let them collaborate with and inspire each other.

Our Kick-Off Retreat is December 6-7, 2024 in Fairlee, VT, so mark your calendars and sign up now! The Kick-Off is for teams looking to dive into the implementation phase of their action project. There will be skills workshops, team planning time, consultation time with VEEP staff and other experts, and a supportive community of passionate and like-minded folks. Please contact mariah.keagy@veep.org with any questions about the program.

If you are interested in sponsoring this program and helping us keep it affordable for all students, please contact sophia.donforth@veep.org
