About this Event
Target Audience: MS, HS, Undergrad, Teachers
The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) has two climate education programs based in NYC and NYS working to engage the next generation in climate solutions. The Resilient Schools and Communities (RISC) program empowers middle and high school students through hands-on experiential learning in seasonal climate solution field trips where students help build nature-based solutions to mitigate coastal climate hazards, shoring up coastal resilience in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Climate Resilience Education Task Force (CRETF) Youth Steering Committee (YSC) empowers NYS high school students through a year-long climate education and civic engagement program, where students advocate at the state and local level for policy improvements dictating their climate education while learning and networking with experts in the climate sector. Join this session to learn best practices and adaptation potential from RISC and the CRETF YSC!
A link to join the session will be provided to all registered participants upon registration.
