Executive Director at Youth Climate Action Team Inc. - McLean, Virginia, United States
Youth Climate Action Team Inc. is an international 501(c)4 nonprofit composed of 1,500+ organizers across 5 continents and 22 countries, having reached 300,000+. In the past we have worked with the Environmental Protection Agency, United Nations Environment Programme, and White House and have organized international, national, and local scale initiatives. We spearhead lobbying efforts at domestic and international scales, equitable climate education programs, activism leadership development, and unprecedented research.We work to bridge the gap between non-climate groups and the climate movement by fostering student and non-climate group involvement in intersectional climate action to consolidate efforts against the climate crisis. We collaborate with mainly students and organizations indirectly tied to the climate crisis—political activism groups, women empowerment groups, science national honor societies, youth service groups, etc.—to both expand the climate movement and prepare our generation for the future. We strive to expand the climate movement to eliminate societal complacency and cultivate a diverse, collective, and empathetic movement. Email us at contact@ycatinc.com
