All Hands on Deck: Designing Inclusive Climate Action Programs for Youth Empowerment  

2:45pm - Main Stage

Join us for an engaging session that dives into the critical role of youth in driving climate action. Hear firsthand from young leaders and their mentors in San Mateo County as they discuss the importance of climate resilience, the unique voice and messaging youth bring to the movement, and how adults can effectively support their efforts. Students and their mentors will be joining us from local schools and programs to share their experience and the programmatic design that supported them in the process. This session will explore how youth involvement is crucial for the future of climate action and provide insights on how mentors can best empower the next generation of environmental advocates.
