Youth Spotlight: Creating Opportunities

Join Anthony Zurlo from The Wild Center’s ClimaTeens fellowship and Mathilda Turich and Marley McFarland from Phipps Conservatory’s Youth Climate Advocacy Committee (YCAC) for the first installment of the Youth Spotlight series. A product of the Climate Toolkit Youth Network, our Youth Spotlight series aims to give remarkable young people the stage to share their work and inspire other youth in climate action. 

This Youth Spotlight centers around creating an action or opportunity where there is not one currently. Anthony discusses his fellowship at The Wild Center and the incredible work that he has done forming a green team called the North Country Climate Club. Marley and Mathilda discuss their work in the Phipps YCAC and their own personal journeys of climate action. 

Please share this series with young people in your networks and encourage them to attend a future session! We hope to see them featured on a Youth Spotlight one day!

If you have young people who are taking great strides in climate action, please contact us to have them featured on a future Youth Spotlight. With further questions about the Youth Spotlight series or the Climate Toolkit Youth Network, please email us at CTYN@phipps.conservatory.org.
