Climate YES! Training Project
Are you between 18-30 years old and interested in helping other youth understand complex climate issues in an innovative and engaging way? Consider applying to the Climate YES! (Youth Engagement Strategy) Training Project today!
Climate YES! is a project designed to engage young people across the country in learning about climate change, by youth, for youth.
30 participants will be put into small teams based on their climate-related interests to research and write a brief, which will be reviewed by experts in the field. Participants will then participate in a workshop focused on creating Bytes, mini-courses that allow learners to consume content in under 10 minutes.
Here are some example Bytes you can check out on 6 ways to talk about climate change and 7 things people get wrong about climate change.
Once the Byte has been created, participants will then work together to design and deliver a marketing campaign so their Byte can be experienced by young people across the country.
