2025 Community Organizing for Climate Justice

The Community Organizing for Climate Justice program seeks to equip leaders with a climate justice framework and practical tools to implement team-based climate resiliency projects or other climate justice-related projects in their communities.  With weekly coaching and leadership development, program participants will understand themselves as leaders, expand their capacity to enroll others in collective action, and understand the role of teams in creating change. Click here for the program website.

This program is contextualized for community organizing in the U.S. and is for individuals living in the U.S.

Format: All sessions are online through Zoom.  

Course is designed for: 1) People of faith interested in climate justice who are interested in putting their values into action, 2) Professionals currently working in the field of climate justice who would like to expand their tools and skillset via a praxis project, 3) Early career organizers who would benefit from structured coaching or exposure to theological underpinnings for climate justice work
