Unit Overview
Youth research current data and stories about climate change and ways to reverse the damage caused by human activity. Through discussion and research, they establish things they can do personally and as a team as environmental stewards.
Service Experience
Youth propose things they can do personally (walking to school instead of driving, turning down the thermostat in the winter and wearing a sweatshirt, opening a window in the summer instead of using the air conditioner, advocating for a change at school or in the larger community).
