Mission
We empower an intergenerational climate justice movement of youth, families, and friends building collective power to protect the people and planet we love at the speed and scale of transformation that climate science and justice require.
At Climate Action Families, we are committed to building an intergenerational climate justice movement that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that true climate solutions arise when all voices—across races, cultures, ages, abilities, and identities—are heard and valued.
Since our founding as Climate Change for Families in 2013, we have trained over 600 youth in climate justice through our Climate Justice Ambassador Academies and our youth have gone on to influence local, state, and national climate policy-making.
Our vision now is to build out a nationwide network for youth and families who want to engage in climate justice work, and resources for climate groups working with youth and families. We help groups get started, mentor leaders, offer network-wide training and action ideas, and help youth and families connect with each other to learn and to provide support in a time of great change.
