Youngzine is offering a new and exciting, in-person summer program on climate and sustainability for high school students in 2023. This program will be building on our experiences with a successful online program for high school students in 2022.  

In this two-week program, students will have an opportunity to

• Learn deeply about the climate issue, from the science to impacts and solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
• Develop tools for systems thinking as they analyze how forces in the real world (environmental, economic, social) shape sustainability
• Hear from and interact with guest speakers from academia and industry who will share cutting-edge research and new career opportunities in STEM and non-STEM fields
• Collaborate with peers in small breakout sessions to analyze data, policies, current topics, and more 
• Develop college-ready skills such as research, writing, and communication through group and individual projects

Program Details:

• This program is intended for high school students (rising 9th through 12th graders) with a strong interest in climate change and sustainability. 
• We welcome students from all fields of interest (STEM, Economics, Humanities) to apply. This is a foundational summer program that builds a broad understanding of the issue and is accessible to all students.
