As Trump’s EPA silences youth voices, California launches new Environmental Youth Council to shape our climate future
“Young people everywhere will inherit the environmental legacy we build today,” said Yana Garcia, California Secretary for the Environmental Protection Agency. “That’s why, at CalEPA, we believe young people should get a say in the decisions we make, and that their diverse perspectives should be heard and honored.”
California’s youth are no strangers to the effects of wildfires, extreme heat, flooding, poor air quality, and other pollution. The Youth Council will help advance California’s nation-leading environmental policies for the next generation.
Young people from both rural and urban backgrounds, tribal communities, and those whose voices have historically been underrepresented in environmental decision-making are encouraged to apply. No previous advocacy or leadership experience is required.
