Aloha! The Hawaiʻi Youth Climate Coalition (HYCC) is an entirely youth-run climate justice organization. As an organization, we put together strikes, rallies, and educational events (collectively known as "actions") where we advocate for the advancement of climate-causes. Climate actions can be anything from banning the use of single-use plastic (like Bill 40) to organizing rallies about climate change (like Sept. 20th's climate rallies). Our organization is run entirely by youth (college age or lower) that care about our world and seek to make it a better, more just place for everyone.

New team members can choose from our several teams! The teams are Advocacy, Communications, Logistics, and Outreach. Descriptions of each team can be found here: bit.ly/hyccteams. Brief descriptions are below.

Logistics: Logistics consists of event planning, incorporation, permitting, police liaisons and marshals, and internal organizing expansion, to strengthen our actions. Logistics will be using multiple methods to help build the team such as utilizing event planning mechanisms, permitting advice, and other logistics tips, etc.

Communications: Communications consists of social media, press, emails, editorial content, and other forms of content production. It’s a hyper-creative endeavor and you’re required to think on the fly—it can also require a lot of experience to get used to the different terrains you’ll encounter. The purpose of the communications team is to publicize our goals, help secure funding, increase national and global coverage, and cultivate the Hawaii Youth Climate Coalition audience through aggressive models of communication.

Advocacy: The Advocacy Team will be in charge of anything policy. This includes getting community members civically engaged, raising awareness about certain bills, collaborating closely with other organizations and people to pass legislation, drafting policy, and testifying in support or opposition of legislation. Although there is no base knowledge required to join the Advocacy Team, you will likely be interacting with new people on a regular basis.

Outreach: Hawaii Youth Climate Coalition’s Outreach Team will strengthen the relationship between the organization and the community through recruitment and networking efforts. Responsibilities include: finding school ambassadors, networking with local student activist for event coordination, and working to expand the organization.
