The PPS Climate Justice team is embarking on a community engagement design process. The project aims to answer the question: how can PPS create and support meaningful pathways to climate action, leadership opportunities, and climate community connection for students?
PPS is inviting five high school or middle school students and teachers of any grade to join the project design team. Students and teachers will serve on the design team alongside PPS staff and community based organizations that specialize in climate justice and youth empowerment. This is a paid opportunity for students and teachers, and will require an ongoing time commitment from the end of January through June. You can learn more about the design team here.
For students who cannot participate on the design team, they are invited to the project kick off – a free Design Summit hosted by the PPS Innovation Studio on Jan. 29 (no school day), where they will learn tools to design ambitious, system-wide, and transformative solutions to complex challenges.
There are also ways to be involved in this project that are less time intensive and
