Youth Climate Justice Organizing

The Youth Climate Justice Organizing program at NC WARN was created in 2017. The program deepens our commitment to actively involving youth in the fight for climate justice, working both in school settings and in the general community, and developing youth leadership.

The Youth Organizing team is engaging high school to young adult-aged individuals (~13-25) who have an interest in climate and/or social justice and an investment in serving as an advocate in their community and with their peers.

We are all impacted by the climate crisis, but youth are the ones most impacted and all too often are not invited to the conversation or able to amplify their voices and engage in the movement: take action towards justice now, with your community and for your community.

You can join us!

• College Students/Young Adults in the Triangle: please email NC WARN if you’re involved in an environmental club or alliance on your school campus or in your community already and want to collaborate with us on a joint project, campaign, or want to join a local Clean Path 2025 Action Team.
• Educators and adult leaders of student groups or clubs: Let us know if you’d like to collaborate with the Youth Organizers on a project or invite them into your classroom/other student-centric space to lead a presentation or workshop with the involved youth.
• If you have friends or family in high school who might be interested, please send them to this page to learn more.
