what we are focused on right now
Youth Climate Leaders Program
Over the past few months we have worked with schools, youth groups and community organisations across Tasmania, supporting nine youth-led projects and directly engaging more than 150 young people through workshops, planting events, talks and collaborations. Projects have included pocket forests, threatened species murals, nursery workshops and community partnerships.
One highlight has been the establishment of five pocket forests in schools, creating spaces for biodiversity, outdoor learning and climate action. Through partnerships with groups such as YELL, SciComm and Life Without Barriers, we’ve also expanded our reach beyond schools and into new communities.
Youth Climate Ambassador
Launching this year, the Youth Climate Ambassador Program will provide two young Tasmanians with funded leadership opportunities to represent youth voices on climate and sustainability issues. Ambassadors will receive training, a project budget, and opportunities to engage with schools, organisations, and decision-makers while advocating for a more sustainable future. The program aims to increase the visibility, confidence, and influence of young people in Tasmania’s climate movement .
