Our Impact
Since launching our Resilience as Resistance: Climate Activism and Mental Health program in November of 2020, we’ve:
- Planned and facilitated 3 Resilience as Resistance events,
- Engaged over 115 young people in confidential roundtable discussions,
- Partnered with 8 licensed mental health professionals and four Resilience Advisors,
- Received recognition in the Ho Family Foundation Report, “Youth Leadership and Youth Engagement in Climate and Biodiversity: The need for wellbeing, resilience and mentoring support for the environmental youth movement.”

Our Goals
Our Climate recognizes the need to implement wellness programs because of the complexity of this intersectional crisis and the weight of eco-anxiety. Without mental healthcare, young activists are prone to burnout, making organizing unsustainable.
We have 3 goals for our programming:
Goal 1
Host 4 virtual Resilience as Resistance: Mental Health & Climate Activism events throughout 2022 in order to provide 75 participants mental health and resilience support, with a focus on their wellbeing in the climate justice space.
Goal 2
Uplift the stories of youth leaders in frontline communities using our storytelling and art curriculum.
Goal 3
Build a team of Resilience Advisors prominent in the wellness space to support ongoing programming and contribute to an academic article.
