Youth Climate Ambassadors
Do you want to share your stories with others in order to inspire change, empathy, and connection? We are seeking young people in Massachusetts to get involved in the climate movement in a creative way.
The Hitchcock Center and Climate Stories Project are seeking Massachusetts middle and high school students to record and share their climate stories and interview community members about their personal responses to the changing climate. We are gathering a group of motivated students for our climate storytelling training project. A commitment to the project includes two workshops during January and February and an in-person community visioning session in April. A stipend will be awarded to participating youth at the end of the project.

Youth Climate Stories Exhibit Opening and Reception
Sunday, April 13, from 1 – 3 PM
Most meaningful for folks 12+ but open to all ages
Free to attend, registration appreciated
Join us for the free exhibit opening and reception for the Youth Climate Stories Project, in partnership with the Climate Stories Project, and made possible through funding from Mass Humanities.
This project elevates youth voices and tells the untold stories of young people and their experiences, understanding, and responses to climate change. The goals of this project are to use youth storytelling as a vehicle for inspiring young people to see themselves as climate change problem solvers; broadening engagement in youth climate action by inspiring peers and adult mentors; helping visitors of all ages to the Hitchcock Center learn about and get inspired by youth taking action on climate change; and catalyzing community conversations about visioning for the future.
Join us to hear from the youth, enjoy refreshments and community, and learn why it’s important to talk about climate change.
This program is made possible by a grant from Mass Humanities, which provided funding through the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC).
