We believe this moment requires transformative change.

The climate crisis is here. And Black, Indigenous and people of color have been bearing the burden of our pollution-based economy for generations. We have the solutions to stop climate change, but we lack the political will to do it at the rate and scale that’s needed.

Enviro Voters exists to build the political will and power to solve the climate crisis, use climate action to advance justice, and create a global roadmap. To protect our water, land, air, and our most vulnerable communities, we organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change.

Our vision is to build resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and create a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.

California Environmental Voters (Enviro Voters) and Enviro Voters Education Fund are excited to launch a search for Youth

By joining, you will participate in a nine-month cohort program where together you will learn how to build grassroots power for the environment and climate justice, which includes advocacy for a youth climate board to give young people a voice in local decision-making and community education and outreach to achieve environmental justice for our communities.
