A youth-led climate movement to inspire teen climate action and to spread the love of the outdoors

Who We Are

We are the TCC, a network of teens spreading our climate voice through art, writing, and service projects. We aspire to include all backgrounds in their journey towards climate activism, and make sure all people are included in the climate story. There is no climate justice without human justice.

Along with raising awareness to youth about climate change, we hope to inspire teens all around the world to take action in their own communities, and spend more time outdoors!

Our upcoming projects include a zine featuring climate artists and writers from all around the world, a youth-led podcast, and a monthly blog highlighting our volunteers from all around the world!

Recently, we were able to share some of our 2024 YOUzines to the Washington Audubon at Seward Park! Feel free to visit for an opportunity to receive these zines for free! We’re excited to keep working with other local organizations to distribute our zones!

👀Stay tuned for the 2025 edition!..

Early March, our Founder Ivy had the great opportunity to be a guest speaker for the STEM Climate Emotions and Creative Expressions Seminar for climate educators at @earthgenwa — Ivy spoke about her experiences in creating the TCC as well as how the creative process can be beneficial for activism. Thank you for this great opportunity! Looking forward to cohort 2!

Deadline for the YOUzine - one of the first ever entirely youth led climate Justice magazines featuring people like you! - is extended to March 11 at 11:59 PM PST! By submitting your climate/environmental 🌲 related art, writing, etc, you earn the opportunity to be published in a distinguished international magazine and earn the chance to receive up to $75 in scholarships!
