Speaking to participants in the Youth Green Jobs program organized by Dorchester Bay Youth Force and Boston Latin School Youth Climate Action Network. The program combines Youth Force’s advocacy for youth jobs with Youth CAN’s advocacy for sustainability to teach students leadership skills and educate them about the environment. The program will wrap up with open houses in the students’ communities and energy audits at 5 buildings around Boston. I have worked with BLS Youth CAN for several years, and gave out City resolutions to participants during the event.
