How to get involved?

Youth Climate Action Hub

Join us and be at the forefront of combating climate change with young people in Wales. You'll gain access to resources like our Climate Change Session Toolkit, guidance from experienced staff, and financial resources for your projects. We are committed to creating engaging and interactive sustainability toolkits for our Youth Climate Action hubs to deliver, offering young people hands-on learning experiences. These workshops will serve as a dynamic platform for young people to acquire new skills and develop a deep understanding of the importance of environmental sustainability, fostering a strong sense of ownership and commitment to climate action initiatives.   APPLY HERE

Lead the Change in Your Community

We are dedicated to empowering and encouraging young participants to lead and oversee practical community projects with a key focus on developing community lifestyle change. By fostering collaborative partnerships with schools, local businesses, and community groups in Wales, we aim to provide a platform for young co-producers from each location to lead workshops and hands-on initiatives within local youth clubs and community organisations. These youth-led projects will actively promote and encourage sustainable behaviours, emphasising the significance of reusing, repairing, and repurposing materials, thereby creating a ripple effect of positive environmental stewardship within the communities.

Join Our Digital Advocacy Campaign

Our overarching goal is to raise widespread awareness about the critical importance of waste reduction and lifestyle/cultural change through the implementation of an engaging and dynamic digital campaign that resonates with communities in Wales. Leveraging the power of various online platforms and social media channels, we seek to create a digital campaign group to support our online reach and engagement with young individuals, inspiring them to adopt environmentally sustainable practices as part of their daily lives. Through this digital advocacy campaign, we aim to catalyse a significant behavioural shift, encouraging and motivating the youth to actively embrace and adopt environmentally sustainable lifestyles.
