Thanks to your generous donation, this fall has been a time of preparation, meditation, and creativity for Earth Guardians as we prepare to launch our program, Earth Voice, Inspiring Shift, in the spring of 2024. We have spent the fall preparing materials for the program, contacting potential partners, writing grants, fundraising, and working in unison with the Earth Guardians Speakers Bureau to plan this large scale program expected to reach between 20-30 primarily BIPOC high schools in 2024 throughout the US. We are excited to share the promotional video and deck we created last month with our larger audience, so please feel free to share these materials far and wide to help us spread the word about this program.
We are equally as excited to get youth across the country involved in the climate justice movement at a young age, not only to uplift and enhance the progress of the movement, but as importantly, to give youth hope, community, and a venue for direct action that makes change. Our BIPOC youth staff, is visioning and creating this program with their peers in mind. They know better than anyone else what it takes to get youth engaged in positive meaningful action, and are putting their heart and soul into the creation of this program as to not only protect mother earth, but also to uplift and engage their peers in activities that make a difference and give them a future to look forward to.
The time is now and the youth are leading the way. Please watch our video and review the deck attached to this progress report to learn more about this program. Feel free to be in touch if you have schools in your locality that might want to get involved. None of this would be possible without your support, so once again we want to express our deepest gratitude for your donation.
Thank you and Peace,
The Earth Guardians family
