Featured Summit: Portland Youth Climate Summit

The Youth Climate Summit is an opportunity for youth at any level of environmental justice understanding to get involved in climate action. The event invites youth to be centered in conversations with climate and environmental justice organizations. This year’s themes center around food justice, TEK, environmental justice, and urban development with options to participate in in-person workshops.

This is an all-day event with multiple sessions ranging from panels, Q&A, networking, and hands-on actionable workshops. Check out the website for more details.
