Young people are not just the future of the climate movement—they are leading it today. This session is designed to equip youth activists with the skills and confidence to step into leadership roles and drive meaningful change.

Following our training “Recruitment and Retention: Building Your Base and Keeping Folks Around,” this tip sheet offers practical guidance on how to bring new people into your work and keep them engaged over time.

Join us for an hour as we dive into best practices of recruitment strategies and how to foster entry points for new people in your organization.

In this training, we’ll walk through how to prepare for the unexpected. We’ll talk about how to build grassroots power and shift the narrative in big moments, while being respectful and collaborative.

The Climate Advocacy Lab seeks to provide a comprehensive archive of research and insights for the movement. By keeping our ear to the ground, receiving submissions from you all, and scouring over 69 academic journals, we have added 459 polls, case studies, social science papers and other resources published in 2024 to our Resource Library. To help you make sense of them all, we’ve highlighted some of the most notable trends and individual resources below. Read the whole roundup on our site, with additional sections covering the Inflation Reduction Act, clean energy, public opinion, and perceptions of activism.

Following our training “Powering Change: Telling Effective Stories to Build a Just, Inclusive, & Equitable Clean Energy Future,” this tip sheet offers practical guidance on using storytelling to promote equitable clean energy solutions.

Maximize impact in this session with the Lab’s training on the most effective people-powered ways to influence legislators and other policymakers. We draw from the latest field research and social science (for example, it turns out sending fewer emails can be more powerful than flooding with too many).
