Student Training for Environmental Protection (STEP) is growing! We now have three STEPs confirmed for this summer, one in Virginia and one in Wisconsin, and one in Connecticut.

The STEP program is designed to give students and young folks the skills they need to become effective environmental advocates and organizers. STEP is an intensive course facilitated by a diverse crew of some of the best youth organizers in the U.S and Puerto Rico. The program focuses on environmental justice and anti-oppression and the workshops and activities reflect that. During the program participants learn how to create (or strengthen) successful and inclusive groups that will be able to run effective environmental campaigns on their campuses or in their communities.

Who: You and other amazing young people dedicated to environmental justice
What: A life-changing opportunity
Where: Virginia, Wisconsin, or Connecticut
When: This summer
Why: Our planet is in trouble and it needs your help!

This year marks our fifth anniversary! So far we’ve trained over 90 people who have gone on to do amazing environmental justice work around the country. Join us this summer and you could be one of the people in the STEP Network doing great things to protect our planet.
