Our Chapters

About Chapters

Intersectional environmentalism is key to fighting the climate crisis. That is where chapters come in; you take the steps to improve your local community! This can be a part of a school project, a school club, for fun, recreational, or anything! Chapters are a great way to get involved, get experience, volunteer hours, and be an intersectional environmentalist fighting climate change.

​

Chapters are groups of youth of all ages (up to 25 per group, however, more can be arranged) that take all of our videos, modules, and content and make it accessible for everyone in their local community. Many people do not even have access to proper education -- let alone the internet, and this is where the chapter system is so crucial. They help create the next generation of intersectional climate activists by providing the same climate opportunities for people of all ethnicities, races, sizes, genders, sexualities, abilities, class status, etc. Our social media accounts and main teams can help you expand and create larger events, but basically, it's your own mini club to make change!

Chapters Tasks

• Every other week to a month chapters must plan an event or project (or continuation of project if applicable).  This can include arches, teaching in schools, attendings at large gatherings, podcasts, presentations and more! It is up to you to decide what you want your chapter to do, anything is allowed as long as it fits in the purpose, rules, and guidelines of EcoLearners!

• Some ideas:

  • You can create your own social media for your chapter that you get to operate titled “ecolearners__name of chapter”

  • Local larger events can be weeding invasive species and planting native ones while learning about the harms of invasive species or planting, panels on learning about biodiversity, or even vegan baking sales picnics!

  • Working with local legislators and school district managers to mandate climate education in schools is perfect for our mission!
