Volunteer: Climate Leadership Training Program -- California opportunity

Art Works For Change is offering a volunteer opportunity for a Climate Leadership Training Program aimed at California high school and college students. Participants will learn about climate policies and advocacy while developing community engagement strategies. The program is designed to build skills and networks in climate activism. Remote volunteers are accepted, making it accessible to individuals across California.
Our museum-quality exhibitions are hosted by fine art institutions all over the world. The artists we feature educate the public and foster dialogue through the unique voice of contemporary art. Each of our exhibitions is complemented by local educational and outreach opportunities at each destination, building critical mass for social action, and leaving behind a legacy of local activism.

We also feature online exhibitions and educational programming on multiple platforms to broaden the reach of our exhibitions and connect with new audiences.

Art Works for Change is a nonprofit organization that creates contemporary art exhibitions and storytelling projects to address critical social and environmental issues. Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy climate change organization focused on national policies to address the national and global climate crisis.

Art Works for Change and CCL are offering a Climate Leadership Training Program for California high school and college students. If you are from California or are currently in school in California, we invite you to apply. Our program offers rolling admissions. Program participants will learn about climate policies, advocacy techniques, and the role of storytelling in promoting engagement. We will guide you through the process of becoming a citizen lobbyist and finding your place in the climate movement.

Your role would be to participate in this training program and to develop creative approaches to activating your local community. Plus, you will get to join a fun, passionate team, working for an important cause--and build your own skills and network in the process. Remote volunteers are happily accepted.
