Climate change programs for students to debut this winter

VERMONT - The Governor’s Institutes of Vermont announces the debut of a new, virtual climate change winter weekend program. From Friday, February 4, to Sunday, February 6, Vermont’s ninth to 12th grade students are invited to join GIV in asking and answering some of the hardest questions of the 21st century. What will Vermont look like after 50 more years of climate change? How can young people lobby for action on a legislative level? How can art shift people’s perspective on caring about the planet?
Students of GIV’s “Climate Change Sprint” will find the answers to these questions and so much more. Through community-oriented group projects, interactive challenges, and intensive workshops, they will gain the connections, resources, and inspiration to take on climate change in Vermont and beyond, all in just three days.
Applications for GIV’s virtual Climate Change Sprint are currently open. In the interest of making this program accessible to all Vermont families, tuition is “pay what you can.” Interested students can visit GIV.org/winter for more information and to apply.
