The Center for Climate Literacy believes in the power of grassroots change. As such, we seek to grow an inclusive, cooperative community working together to ensure every student becomes climate literate. We invite you to get involved—and there are many ways to do so.
Center members are called Fellows. We recognize our Fellows for the work they already do, whether it is teaching workshops or researching grants or spreading the word for climate literacy education. We also support our Fellows with ongoing programming and opportunities to be more involved.
