Youth Climate Ambassadors
-
Via the Environmental Literacy & Sustainability Initiative of the San Mateo County Office of Education
June 13, 2022 --- The third cohort of the San Mateo County Youth Climate Ambassadors (YCA) Program graduated at the end of May in a successful virtual capstone event. This amazing group of youth leaders worked incredibly hard over the past six months to learn about complex environmental issues and take tangible action in their communities to mitigate global warming and catastrophic climate change.
Each youth leader captured their experience and the impact of their community impact project in a case study and final presentation.
View these case studies and presentations on the Community Impact page of the YCA website.
