CYCP Mentors

Mentor Opportunity:

Support the next generation of climate leaders. CYCP mentors work virtually with a small group of high school students (up to three) from July through January, meeting online monthly during workshops and coaching calls to offer guidance, encouragement, and feedback as students develop and advance their climate advocacy projects.

Mentors help students connect their interests to real-world policy and leadership, while sharing their own experiences and building meaningful relationships along the way.

This is a flexible, high-impact opportunity requiring about 3 hours per month. CYCP is a completely virtual program so there are no in person requirements. 

Key dates:

 (Students are expected to attend all events. Mentors should attend as many events as possible. Students and Mentors will meet monthly in between each workshop)
