Dear ECCLPs supporter ,

We are thrilled to bring you some exciting news that embodies the spirit of collective action and environmental stewardship. Introducing the launch of our statewide and global high school student survey , a collaborative effort involving incredible ECCLPs partners such as Action for the Climate Emergency, Youth Legacy Leadership , California Science Matter Projects, EarthDay.Org , and numerous others.

We need your help to unveil what students know, don't know, want to know more of and their current levels of engagement! Please share this survey link or this web page link with more info to your networks to school admin, PK-12 teachers, or student groups to contribute to this landscape analysis and help us center on youth voices.

We're excited to connect across the state and globe to create meaningful change through education, and we cannot succeed without key partners like you. Thank you for your ongoing support!
