Western Mass YCLP Summit 2025 Resilience as Resistance

Western Mass Youth Climate Leadership Program is hosting their yearly Youth Climate Summit. This is an inspirational event where teens gather to learn, share ideas, and plan climate action. These summits are led by youth and bring in students, clubs, and mentors from across western Massachusetts and beyond. Summit participants attend workshops, gain inspiration from local youth leaders and community mentors, and receive support to start their own Climate Action Projects. These projects tackle local climate issues, like reducing waste at school or pushing for clean energy. Most projects are done in small groups, but individuals can join too. Together, the summit and projects help teens turn passion into real change in their communities.
