This stream is especially designed for young people across the Northeast aged 13-18 who will come together to share and learn about environmental and social justice.  Workshops will be presented by youth themselves or by multi-generational facilitators and will cover a variety of Climate Justice related topics including: cultural exchange, creating sustainable communities across the urban/rural divide, skill sharing, the history of social change movements, and concrete strategy building. We hope that the Confluence will empower youth to return to their communities with new ideas, new regional networks, and action plans!
