Youth and Elders Standing Together

Supporting youth in their fight for a livable world is a core SSAFE value: “We are stewards of this Earth, and we must push for climate action alongside younger generations.”

This page is dedicated to the ways SSAFE Elders and Youth Climate Activists are working together.

Yin Liu and Elise Peirson, staff members from The Wild Center in the Adirondacks, presented to the SSAFE General Committee Meeting on July 7, 2022.
