Are you interested in environmental science and have a passion for addressing climate change?

The program is open to teens entering grades 10-12 seeking a role in climate research and increased voice in climate communication.

The stipend is awarded to teens who fulfill all 10 required workshops and a climate related Teen Research Program this summer. If for some reason you need or decide to miss a required workshop, the stipend will be adjusted accordingly up to 2 absences.
