Youth Leadership Council

The Youth Leadership Council (YLC) empowers diverse high school students to increase inclusive and impactful sustainability and climate action across NYC schools and communities.

YLC members:

• Learn how to lead climate action in their schools and communities.

• Build a network with students across all five boroughs.

• Plan the 2024 Youth Climate Summit.

• Earn community service hours. 

• Take sustainability-themed field trips around NYC.

The Youth Leadership Council meets monthly after school between October 2023-June 2024.
