Plant for the Planet Academy (United Nations sponsored) in Beaverton!–An Awesome way to celebrate Earth Day!

The United Nations program Plant for the Planet is training children and teens to become Ambassadors for Climate Justice at free one-day Academies open to all students.

Students & adult volunteers—time to sign up:

• In Beaverton, OR on Saturday, April 23, 2016 at Barnes Elementary School, 13730 SW Walker Road, Beaverton Oregon 97005-1016.

• If you can’t make that, join us in Portland, Oregon on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center as part of Good Deeds Day. Academies are open to all students, but students who are interested in J-Serve (older than 5th grade and part of the Jewish community) should attend J-Serve and join us for the Academy the following week in Beaverton. Other students are welcome, though, to join us on the 17th. Mittleman Jewish Community Center, Schnitzer Family Campus, 6651 SW Capitol Highway, Portland OR 97219

Youth teach other youth to become Ambassadors knowledgeable about:

• the science of Climate Change and Recovery,

• the impacts on people everywhere of the current situation,

• how to plant trees and organize planting parties.

• how to make effective presentations and influence policy.

And we provide ongoing activities after the Academy.

Since 2007, Plant for the Planet has empowered more than 36,000 children in 50 countries to stop Climate Change through planting trees and getting adults to act.
