After completing the training, participants of the EHJLT are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to organize campaigns or projects for WE ACT and\/or broader environmental\/social justice movements on their own.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nSUMMER 2024 YOUTH EHJLT PROGRAM<\/strong>\r\nWe worked with BioBus to help 4th-6th graders at the Manhattanville Community Center in Harlem understand the science behind environmental justice.

One team developed a website on food waste, called Save the Scraps, which gives a good overview of the problem as well as offers some potential solutions. It also features a map for dumpsters diving (including ratings for specific dumpsters, for the gourmets out there) and another map of community fridges. Check it out here<\/a>!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nIn addition, each year we conduct a special Environmental Health and Justice Leadership Training program for students at the Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School (WHEELS). Pictured above is the 2019 graduating class of that program, and below is a video they put together to say thank you.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xdQlNCjt2wA\r\n\r\nTo give you a sense of the passion and enthusiasm these students have for our EHLJT program, below is short clip from the awards ceremony. At the end of the program, we hold an expo where teams of students present their projects, showcasing what they learned. We give out awards for the best presentations, and this the team that came in 4th place!\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=068BmbtGuXE\r\n\r\nAlso in 2019, we had a dozen WE ACT members participate in a summer Environmental Health and Justice Leadership Training program. They developed the skills and knowledge needed to become community advocates, whether supporting WE ACT initiatives or leading their own. This included learning about the foundations of organizing, clean air quality, climate justice and energy security, and healthy homes with guest speakers such as Mike Harrington of the New School's Tishman Environment and Design Center, Dr. Jeanette Stingone of Columbia University's Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan, and Dr. Maida Galvez of the New York State Children\u2019s Environmental Health Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nBelow are some testimonials from members who took our EHJLT program the summer of 2019.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lxTYj-uHSuo\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U8oWCQvMm8o\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HU4lDXxYz9A\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vC4HKgiDOLg\r\n\r\n ","include_drop_cap":false}}]},"yoast_head":"\nEnvironmental Education -
