iCare, iOrganize, iMatter — a 350 Vermont Youth Leadership Workshop

   

* Are you in middle or high school, ready to be a leader on climate change & to take a stand for your future?

* Looking for more powerful ways to make a difference & join a youth-powered movement that’s rising up in every corner of the world?

* Do you want to help organize a mega huge climate rally for iMatterMarch this Mother’s Day?

Come join the iCare, iOrganize, iMatter — a 350 Vermont Youth Leadership Workshop, in Montpelier on April 23rd, for aspiring young leaders from all regions of Vermont.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together many new and emerging climate leaders from around the state to arm them with the tools and connections to be dynamic and effective climate organizers — both in their schools, communities, and as a statewide force for change.

Join us for a full day of training, networking, collaboration and the making of big plans for the future. Beyond the workshop, you’ll all have a chance to work together right away by organizing for iMatterMarch’s May 8 nationwide day of youth-powered climate activism.

Following May 8th, we’re looking forward to working with and supporting this emerging power group to unite a movement of young people for real change across Vermont.

Solving climate change is about safeguarding your future, and a planet you deserve to live on. Ultimately, it will be the youth who inspire humanity to rise to this challenge — and right we now we need your voices loud, clear, and bolder than ever before.
