Youth-Led Breakout Session: Create Your Own Action Plan
One of the 15 breakout session options will be a special workshop where students can work together to design their own climate action plans to bring back to their schools.

Career and Higher Education Fair
In addition to the breakout sessions, students will have the chance to explore an environmental career and higher education fair.

We’re excited to share that the Youth Climate Leadership Summit and Career Fair is an experiential learning project that aligns with the Seal of Climate Literacy in Colorado. The Seal was developed as a way to recognize students who gain an understanding of how climate change impacts their communities and beyond.
