Our Vision
At Youth for Climate Restoration (Y4CR), our vision is to inspire a generation of leaders determined to restore our planet and secure a safe, sustainable future. We aim to diffuse the message of climate restoration among youth, empowering them to become catalysts for change in their communities and beyond.
We believe in perpetuating hope in the face of the climate crisis by shifting the narrative from fear and resignation to one of determination and confidence. Through education, advocacy, and action, we equip young leaders with the tools they need to make a tangible impact.
Initiatives
Youth leaders in the Youth for Climate Restoration program have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities that contribute directly to climate restoration efforts. These activities generally fall under two broad categories: Projects and Media, but there is flexibility for leaders to create and lead their own initiatives within these areas.
Projects: Leaders in this area work on hands-on activities such as partnering with other organizations to host art and writing competitions, delivering presentations on climate restoration, organizing educational workshops for kids, and more. Through these activities, participants develop essential skills in communication, networking, and organization.
Media: The media branch focuses on content creation, including social media management, blog writing, outreach to local media, and podcast production. Leaders help publicize the organization’s activities and reach a wider audience. This branch also covers branding, including designing flyers, logos, and promotional materials. Participants gain valuable experience in marketing, content creation, and graphic design.
Listen to the Podcast
Restoration Radio is a podcast focused on educating and inspiring young people to get involved in the climate restoration movement. Each episode features conversations with experts in climate science and action, sharing their perspectives on restoration—whether they’re seasoned advocates or just starting to explore the idea.
We also dive into their career journeys and discuss how their work plays a role in the larger effort to restore our planet. Restoration Radio is a great way to learn about careers in climate action and spread a message of hope, progress, and the power of change.
