Mission Statement
The Bay Area Youth Climate Summit brings together high school students from all over the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond to connect over climate justice and activism. They offer support, guidance, and resources for youth to build a climate action plan with a group of like-minded students that they can implement in their school or community.
Engagement Opportunities
They are a group of like minded high schoolers who meet, discuss, and implement local climate solutions. They open applications twice a year, but on their website you can find a current list of workshops or events they are hosting or cohosting. You can also join their newsletter for the most recent projects or volunteer opportunities.
