Fall Fellow will help build the SSC network and recruit young people to Power Shift. Power Shift is the youth climate movement event of the year- bringing together over 10,000 students and young people to get trained, learn and be empowered to make a difference in their communities. Power Shift is October 18th-21st in Pittsburgh, PA.

Our Fall Fellows will work on-campus and in their states to build teams to fund-raise, recruit, and create excitement for Power Shift. But the work doesn’t stop there- after the conference, students will return to their campuses to take action at home and effect real change on the environment, climate and energy.

Applications due: May 27th

The Climate Justice League is at it again, and hosting their Spring Collaborative Leadership Program! This free leadership development program is a great opportunity to jump start transitions to new leadership and give new leaders key skills for success!

Register Now! for the CLP happening Saturday, May 18th from 10am to 5pm

The Collaborative Leadership Program (CLP) engages students in leadership and organizing training to build collective capacity to make impactful changes in the UO campus and broader communities. The CLP uses some of the nation’s most comprehensive training curriculum to put students at the forefront of their leadership development through student-led sessions, experiential learning, and detailed planning for their future initiatives. Through sessions on modern student organizing practices (e.g. goals, strategies, etc.), meeting facilitation, anti-oppression and justice, group coordination, and effective communication, the CLP endeavors to provide opportunities for students to express their personal leadership potential.
