In 2025, despite the growing challenges and contention surrounding truth-telling and advocacy, Earth Guardians’ Speakers Bureau continued to make a profound impact across the U.S. and globally, amplifying youth voices on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
Through our traditional Speakers Bureau programming, we engaged audiences at events nationwide, directly reaching more than 3,000 individuals and inspiring collective action rooted in ecological awareness and climate justice.
Our newer Earth Voices program also continued to evolve and expand. This year, we brought our youth Speakers to schools across the U.S., where they delivered climate and science-based curriculum modules that empowered 1,100 students to turn their world-changing ideas into tangible projects.
A couple of examples include:
•Speakers Tony and Tyler traveled to Chicago to collaborate with the Urban Growers Collective, providing agricultural and communications training for local youth leaders, expanding the program’s experiential and scientific dimensions.
•Speaker Vic led a session at the Packer Institute, advancing our new strategic focus on Montessori and private school engagement. This effort lays the foundation for a broader outreach strategy to reach educators and students within these learning environments.
Beyond these in-person engagements, our voices continue to resonate through the Earth Voices Podcast and digital education series, including the Science, Policy, and Traditional Knowledge Series and the Speakers Series, all of which strengthen public understanding and advocacy on climate and social justice issues around the globe.
This year’s achievements establish a strong foundation for the next phase of programming — one that will continue to uplift, educate, and mobilize youth worldwide.
