Youth Climate Council Application

EcoRise Youth Climate Councils provide a way for youth to actively engage in the civic process and invest in the future of their city. The mission of each council is to empower the next generation of climate champions with the tools they to engage in community issues around climate change, environmental policy, and environmental justice, using their city's climate action plan as a guide. EcoRise is committed to representing all communities in each council city; students of color, students with disabilities, LGBTQIA+, and/or immigrant/migrant experiences are encouraged to apply. Through this experience, students will participate in extensive learning opportunities, sharpen their communication skills, and network with other youth professionals.
