Young people bring critical perspective, expertise, and energy to our movement spaces -- but traditional organizing and mobilizing structures can leave them feeling undervalued, tokenized, or burnt out.
How do we design ladders of engagement that truly support youth leadership development within our climate organizing work?
Participants will leave this Lab training with:
• Evidence-insights into the challenges and opportunities of youth climate organizing
• A draft ladder of engagement -- from initial awareness to sustained active participation -- tailored for the needs of young climate leaders
• New connections with Lab members who are also committed to supporting a multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational, and leader-full climate movement!
