Virtual Conference

Do you teach about climate issues? Would you enjoy learning more and spending time with like-minded educators? Hosted by Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy, in partnership with NOAA’s Climate Program Office and The Wild Center’s Youth Climate Program, the Summer Institute for Climate Education is a virtual conference that brings together educators from across the country. The theme for 2021 is “A Regrounding in Truth.”

This three-day event will provide educators with skills, tools, and resources to teach climate change concepts and empower students in all subject areas. The Northeast regional cohort will be led by Mass Audubon’s Nia Keith (VP for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Justice) and Brittany Gutermuth (Climate Education Coordinator at Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary).

Registration deadline is July 19. Total cost per attendee is $250; scholarships available.

This week heat wave gripped not only New England but West Coast as well. As extreme weather events become increasingly more common, taking impactful actions on climate change will be essential.

You can act now by contributing to our Climate Sentiment Survey. Sharing your thoughts, motivations, and concerns regarding the impacts of climate change on you, your family, and the spaces you care most about will help in directing action from Mass Audubon and its community.

The survey is fully anonymous but when you participate you will have the option of entering your email address at the end to be entered in a drawing for one of two $100 Mass Audubon gift cards that can be used toward membership, programs, and gift shop purchases.
