Join our nationwide community of high schoolers committed to proactive environmental initiatives and climate optimism. The monthly meetings serve as a collaborative place where youth come together for environmental innovation, inspiration, and community action. Engage with a climate specialist or environmental expert on a monthly basis to exchange your perspectives and learn together.

Overview of the Program:

• Register for our online monthly meetups, scheduled from September 2026 to April 2027. These virtual meetings are held on Wednesday evenings, typically at 8:00 p.m. EST / 5:00 p.m. PST, offering multiple meeting times to increase accessibility for students around the country and the world.
• Every meeting features a structured yet relaxed flow, starting with a brief welcome and introduction. This is followed by a brief 15-to-20-minute talk or a comfortable interview style conversation with a guest speaker working in science, climate change, leadership, or art. The session then opens up for a collective discussion with time for comments and questions from the youth, alongside tailored support for conceptualizing ideas and planning a community-focused project for Earth Day.
