Join us in the fight against climate change
The time to act is now!! Think Global, Act Local
Westchester Youth & Educators
We’ve been challenged to become the Green County USA
Carbon Neutral by 2025, 50% Net-Zero by 2030, and 100% Net-Zero by 2045.
We know that’s an ambitious goal but with the help of our incredible students, educators, administrators, and elected officials we’re confident we can achieve it. That’s why a global coalition of organizations is focusing on Westchester. If we’re successful and every school district signs the dual pledge we can send a powerful message to the rest of the world and become an international model for climate action.
Now is the time to act
Westchester is a hub for change makers, innovators, and leaders. Let’s leverage our community to lead on the national stage.
Please join our ambitious campaign to help Westchester County schools, students and educators become recognized as global leaders.
