Why get involved?

• You’ll learn how to make positive changes happen in your community or college
• Build your confidence in public speaking, or in one-to-one conversations
• Meet other young people who share your concerns for the environment
• Earn digital badges recognised by universities & recruitment websites such as LinkedIn
• A 3-day, all expenses paid residential trip with other student activists

How does it work?

As part of the course, you’ll receive:

• 2 days of intensive training in community campaigning in your home city
• Campaigning guidance and support from a coach based in your region/city
• Volunteering opportunities in the wider climate movement
• Fortnightly one-to-one tuition and coaching

Graduation takes place at Friend of the Earth’s national youth gathering in July, with environmentalists from across the UK.
