The Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience seeks applicants from from high school students for the Youth Climate Council.
Rising sophomores through seniors are eligible to apply. The Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience announcement reads:
We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2025-2026 Youth Climate Council! This is an incredible opportunity for passionate and driven young individuals from across the state to engage with each other and the Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience on Massachusetts climate policy. YCC will meet monthly over Zoom from September 2025 through May 2026 with opportunities for in person events throughout the year.
The Council advises the administration on climate-related initiatives and solutions. The application deadline is September 1, 2025.
September 1 deadline? Are people stupid? First it’s Labor Day, a holiday, second school has not started in many cities and towns and third Students need to be notified, encouraged and supported to sign up for this great type of activity.
I am certified in Environmental Studies and have a great deal of outdoor experiences.
Deadline must be changed!
I agree Robert. Common sense and logic seem to fall by the wayside an awful lot these days. And wouldn’t it be helpful to include a contact name in the “more information link?”
