Are you concerned about climate change and would you like to participate in solutions in a way that fits within your existing life? Join us for the Climate Ambassadors Program!
What is the Climate Ambassadors Program?
The program supports community members in becoming effective communicators about climate change and solutions by providing an overview of climate science and impacts, solutions, and, importantly, how to effectively communicate about climate change. The ambassadors program will support residents as they tap into their unique skills and networks to take meaningful climate action and inspire others to join them. This program is for anyone, no prior knowledge or training is required.
Best of all, this program provides a sense of community and collaboration in effectively addressing climate change.
