Climate Justice Leadership Academy
The Climate Justice Leadership Academy empowers youth and adults from disproportionately impacted communities to engage in politics and advocate for the creation of fair policies that benefit all communities in Colorado.
We offer three free leadership development programs that center people’s lived experiences and develop leadership skills, fostering the next generation of environmental leaders.
We welcome community members of all ages and from diverse backgrounds and identities, including Latino, Black, Indigenous, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQIA2+ and people with disabilities.

Boards and Commissions Fellowship
If you have advocacy experience, apply to the Boards and Commissions Fellowship to help ensure policies benefit all Colorado communities. This six-month program offers personalized mentorship in parliamentary procedures and political decision-making, empowering you to build leadership skills to serve on local and state boards and commissions across Colorado.
The Next Generation of Climate Leaders
If you are a high school or college student and you want to learn about environmental justice, this six-month program is for you. We’ll meet for two hours weekly to cover environmental justice principles and help you build leadership skills to strengthen your role in social and environmental justice movements. You’ll also explore job opportunities in the environmental field, preparing you to become a lifelong advocate for positive change in your community. No prior experience is needed.
