Team Overview:
The Y4C Media Team is focused on getting the word out about what the Youth4Climate community is up to and engaging with youth and climate groups on social media. We believe that communicating the climate crisis and our work to reverse it is an essential component of getting people to join the movement.
What We’re Working On:
- We will be brainstorming potential campaigns and creating visual graphics for promoting activities and events through social media.
- We work on monthly digital newsletters to spotlight what different teams are up to and let people know how to get involved.
- We maintain the Youth4Climate blog by organizing writers, brainstorming ideas, editing articles, and sharing posts.
What Volunteers Do:
- Apply graphic design to help promote events, highlight wins in the climate community, and educate youth through infographics
- Make connections and communicate with other youth to best formulate updates and outreach for weekly newsletters
- Develop Y4C’s social media to create a diverse and inclusive platform for all youth
- Write, organize, and edit the Youth4Climate blog
