Our Climate Education Fund (c3)
2024 Programs
We engage and train youth from frontline communities to participate in broad and diverse advocacy coalitions. Through our youth leadership development programs, we will support youth to plan and execute a ballot campaign that advocates for granting the state Auditor the ability to audit the legislature, increasing transparency and accountability ahead of Election Day 2024. Youth Leaders will also conduct voter outreach through tabling during the week of October 28, 2024, to encourage voter turnout.
Mission
Our Climate is an organisation founded in 2013 which aims to empower young people to advocate for the science-based, equitable and intersectional climate justice policies that build a thriving world. We engage and train youth from affected communities and groups to participate in broad and diverse advocacy coalitions. Together, we build deep partnerships, mobilize, and center those most impacted by climate change to dismantle systemic oppression and achieve systemic change.
