The United Church of Canada is launching its first-ever Climate Motivators program this summer, involving 15 youth from across the country. Each student is sponsored by a local community of faith and works together on local climate justice and environmental needs.
The program is co-led by three young adult climate coordinators and supervised by the GO Project in partnership with the General Council Office. All coordinators and motivators are funded through the Canada Summer Jobs Program. The program is based on the United Church's four climate pillars:
- Getting Our House in Order,
- Connecting with the Earth,
- Raising our Spirited Voices,
- Responding to Climate Impact.
The program provides youth with the opportunity to express their passions and act, deepen their relationship with their faith, build community with peers, and work with church leadership, including Moderator Carmen Lansdowne. Find out more, and read the full news story.
