The Youth Climate Action Conference 4.0 is set for Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at the Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound. The Sustainability Project and Learning for a Sustainable Future with support from Grey County, Bluewater District School Board and Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board (and a lot of others!) will be welcoming approximate 125 students from 25 schools across the region!

Each participating school is sending 1-2 educators and up to 5 grade 6-8 students to this free event including:

Professional development for teachers to learn how to connect climate to their curriculum
Hands-on workshops for students
Library of virtual workshops to keep learning with their whole class
Action project funding to turn their project idea into reality

To catch a glimpse of last year's conference, check out these incredible photos from 2023 and 2024 and don't forget the highlight reels from 2023 and 2024.

If you are interested and available to volunteer, please complete the form below by Monday, October 1st. We are looking for 20 day-of volunteers to help with set-up, tear down and supporting workshop facilitators.

We have also just launched a crowdfunding campaign, so you can also support the event by making a donation and get a charitable tax receipt - all funds will go towards getting students to the conference or supporting their climate action projects!
