The Youth Climate Institute is a student-led recognition program where students enter during their 10th grade year and by the end of the program, graduate as Certified Climate Change Ambassadors with Honors.  

The goal of this program is to establish, educate, and empower student Climate Ambassadors in creating awareness and understanding of global climate change. Through this program, students will identify and initiate action in their communities that lessen the adverse effects of climate change on human health, biodiversity, and the economy.
