Location

Youth Led, Policy, Marches
Mission Statement
Their mission is to mobilize youth in Silicon Valley as part of a growing national movement to demand sweeping, decisive climate action from local, state, national, and ultimately, world leaders to ensure a livable future through legislative change at all levels.
Engagement Opportunities
Most volunteers join a hub (or start one) and get involved there. From the hub, if you don't want to get heavily involved, you can do phone-banking or other one-time actions. But if you are passionate and have time, there is a lot of opportunity to create impactful change. Lots of their hubs are affiliated with a specific schools in the Bay, but if there is not a hub nearby you can start one yourself!

They are youth led, all over the country, and are an extremely welcoming community.
