Youth Climate Ambassadors Community Impact Projects

YCA students taught a workshop to kids in Pacifica about clean energy and ways to reduce carbon emissions at home and in your community. They also taught participants how to make mini windmill kits that use wind energy to power an LED light in order to explain the mechanics of sustainable energy generation.

Students worked with Grassroots Ecology to host an event in Stulsaft Park that focused on removing invasive species and educating twenty attendees about the impacts that climate change will have on biodiversity.

YCA students gave a presentation to local elementary school students about waste sorting and the impact that waste has on our environment. They also brought educational sorting games and engaged with over 250 elementary school students and many teachers.

Inspired by the Check-It-Out! Home Energy & Water Saving Toolkits, YCA students shared energy savings toolkits with their classmates in order to promote greenhouse gas emissions reduction both at home and in the classroom. Students worked with Sustainability Department staff to prepare 50 toolkits and educational materials to share with peers and teachers.

YCA students worked with a local elementary school to install rain barrels in an outdoor learning space to collect rainwater and increase resilience in the face of potential drought and other climate change impacts.
