Climate Action

Though it’s widely known that urgent action is needed to save our planet, it can seem a daunting task to face on your own and many are unaware of what they can do to help. 

In our Climate Action Impact Area, you’ll work with local communities to promote sustainability and environmental awareness in-line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. You’ll lead activities on topics such as recycling, waste management, and the environment. By raising awareness and sharing practical ways to protect the environment, you’ll be part of the movement taking proactive steps against climate change

If you want to be a part of something bigger and help shape the next generation of change-makers then join us and make an impact!
