Climate Cardinals is one of the world's largest youth-led climate organizations. We strengthen community resilience to climate change through language access and youth empowerment. We began five years ago as U.S.-based children of immigrants translating climate information for our families because 80% of the world doesn't speak English, but up to 98% of climate information is only in English. To date, we've grown into a volunteer-powered community of 16,000+ young people and 150 chapters in 145 countries. In 2024, we transitioned from volunteer-led to professionally staffed and formalized a chapters and fellows program.

Over the next year, 100 youth fellows on our executive team will gain the skills to design programs, evaluate impact, and lead digital campaigns, equipping them to drive real change in their communities. 40+ chapters will deliver 160 climate education events annually, giving thousands of young people and minority communities the knowledge to prepare for disasters and advocate for a seat at the decision-making table. 50+ grassroots organizations will receive over 1M words of climate information translations for free, ensuring they can shape policies and strengthen community resilience where it matters most.
