Welcome back to the next academic school year!!!

We hope that the summer has provided you with time to rest, reset, and recharge doing more things that bring you joy! Over the summer, our team has been working with incredible partners to gear up for the Fall launch of our innovative professional learning platform as well as the CA teaching and learning resources hub to provide support to PK-12 educators and those who support them. You'll also soon meet the 130+ faces of the undergraduate and graduate interns from across the UC and CSU systems learning key research skills and approaches to unveil climate change education gaps and opportunities across CA regions bridging community perspectives, schooling, and higher education. There will be many ways to lean in throughout the year and to learn about key partner initiatives to drive systemic change together.

Let's continue to lift as we rise to meet the climate crisis in this moment.

Let’s continue to build a vibrant community of learning and authentic collaboration together!
