Educational Program for High School Students
Young people are rising to the climate challenge, and we’re here to help! The Student Environmental Activist Training (SEAT) program helps students gain education, leadership skills, and experience in climate action.
We are proud to partner with the Refugee Empowerment & Development Association (REDA) to connect with students from under-served communities as they prepare to become the next generation of climate justice leaders. Translation services are available.

SEAT Goals
Protect the Planet
Goal: To create a safer climate for people and all life on Earth, and build a more sustainable future for all.
Participating in the SEAT program helps students discover their power and pursue their passions through education, mentorship, and opportunities for hands-on learning in the climate justice movement.
Gain Valuable Skills
Goal: To gain leadership skills and experience to help with college, careers, and life.
The SEAT program is a great place to learn critical skills in civic engagement, social justice, activism, and community organizing, which aren’t traditionally covered in school.
Form Friendships
Goal: To connect with other like-minded students and mentors in a safe space and with a shared goal.
Meeting and working with other SEAT program participants, students can create, collaborate, and develop friendships with peers who share their interest and passion for climate justice.
“Collective action is the key to solving our crisis, so I encourage everyone to take a step forward and join this global movement.”
