Vision

EG’s foundation is based on centering the experiences, knowledge, and voices of youth and other underserved communities. Our work involves three buckets: youth agency, community engagement, and climate impact. Our theory of change is to promote youth leadership in the environmental movement, especially among marginalized and underserved groups, by utilizing education, training, community building, and direct climate justice action. We aim to center marginalized, tokenized, and underserved communities’ voices, ideas, needs, and efforts in the climate justice movement by providing educational resources, micro-grants, network connections, public speaking opportunities, training, campaigns, partnerships, & mentorship to inspire intergenerational leadership. Through our work, our vision is a global shift towards centering these perspectives as the key to healing the climate and environmental crisis.
