OUR WORK
We are committed to helping frontline youth of color discover their power by grounding them in the historical context of climate justice and the role of collective and distributive power to create profound change.
We weave into a dynamic series of modules a pedagogy that provides knowledge, hands-on discovery, service learning, community science projects, relationship building, and leadership skills. Each module develops a deep, multi-faceted understanding of the challenge and develops the skills to face it head-on and transform our world.

Our mission
Empowering Frontline Youth to Lead the Movement for Transformative Climate Justice
Our Climate Justice Leadership Development Program is grounded in ethnic studies. Students learn about the origins of environmental pollution, its distinct locations in lower-income neighborhoods, and how to advocate and build for a more equitable tomorrow.
where we work?
Communities
We work with schools and organizations located in communities that are disproportionately affected by multiple types of environmental pollution and areas with socio-economically disadvantaged populations. These are the communities in most need of youth engagement in the critical steps towards advancing climate and racial justice priorities.
