It's been a while since we held an orientation event and there are a lot of new faces around here, so we thought we'd host one so that you all can learn more about MYCJ and the work we do, and how MYCJ can help you reach your climate activism goals!

You're invited to the 2024 kickoff of MYCJ's Women & Gender Expansive Cohort! Join our first meeting on Tuesday March 26th at 5pm!

The purpose of this cohort has always been to create a safe space for any human who identifies as a woman, transgender, and nonbinary person to feel invited and included in the culture of climate activism. In this new iteration of the cohort, we will work to support, grow, diversify, and challenge ourselves to be heard and represented equally within our communities and social environments. This first meeting will be low-key and interactive, with the hope of collaborative mapping out the next few months of cohort programming with our collective needs and desires in mind. We hope to see you there!

High School Support Cohort Meeting!

Divestment — it’s a word we hear a lot in the climate movement, but it’s not the easiest concept to understand. It’s even harder to feel like you know enough to hold your own in a conversation with someone who thinks they know a lot about * finance * and claims that climate investments are riskier than fossil fuels.
