Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL). Citizens' Climate Lobby is a nonprofit environmental organization that works on solutions for climate change. They are inviting students to apply for the following opportunities to further their education and civic engagement on climate change, an issue that is very important to my generation.

Campus Leaders Program
We are currently looking for students to join the Campus Leaders Program to learn climate advocacy and do outreach on climate change at their school. Students in the program that are new to CCL would undergo a semester of education in climate advocacy via CCL's webinars, conferences, and one-on-one instruction. This would be followed by another semester leading a student group at their school to conduct a climate education and advocacy campaign. Students can apply to earn 1 credit for completing the first semester. Applications received in the Spring 2019 semester will start June 1, 2019. Download our 4-page brochure for more information.
