OUR CHILDREN’S TRUST YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL

brings together passionate young climate leaders from across the country to serve as a dynamic advisory body for Our Children’s Trust.  

The Youth Advisory Council: 

  • Guides organization priorities 

  • Co-develops strategies 

  • Informs program designs 

The Council meets monthly as a group. As workgroups and committees are established, members may also participate in regular committee meetings.

Youth have been standing up for their constitutional rights in courtrooms all across the country as plaintiffs and activists. Their voices have a reverberating impact and are vital to the work Our Children’s Trust engages in every day. Youth leadership is embedded in our mission, and this council will ensure youth perspectives inform every aspect of our work.
