Listen | Create | Impact

By listening to teachers and other education advocates interested in promoting climate awareness, in addition to environmental practitioners, organizers, and activists, we create a blended learning experience that fosters action-based public events + curriculum tailored to classroom and/or community needs.

Furthermore, we bridge education and action through our organizing work in partnership with other grassroots groups bringing students and youth into the fold as the next generation of changemakers.

Start:Empowerment is proud to have impacted 2,500+ students, teachers, and future organizers across New York and Texas.
