Email Mariah Keagy, (Youth Lobby Advisor and VEEP Staff): mariah@veep.org with any questions. If you want to sign up to join for only one of the trainings, you can you use this form instead.
P.S. We had a great time with VPIRG’s political strategist, Tom Hughes, at our last training in Burlington. Many thanks for Conservation Law Foundation and Vermont Law School for organizing and letting us use the space.
Hello, Ms. Keagy.
I’m tempted to attend. Will the presentations be theory-based or experience-based ?
Hi Kurt, These trainings are facilitated by individuals who do this work professionally, so probably a mixture. The trainings are open to any youth who would like to engage and grown their skills in taking action on climate justice. If you have any youth who are part of your organization and would like to join, it would be great to have them!
