Plant for the Planet is coming to Orcas Island on Saturday, February 14, for a valuable and free Climate Ambassador training of youth ages 8-14, at Orcas Island Elementary School in the Gymnasium.

Are you and your children interested in the opportunity to become members of a worldwide network of committed children who have together already planted Billions of trees and begun the important work of climate justice?

This all-day academy for kids emphasizes personal action and motivation to understand climate change, make a difference, and take action and/or participate in related activities. The movement was started by a 9-year-old in 2007.

Volunteers are needed to help with lunch and snacks during the day, help planting a tree or two, and working in small groups with kids during the team building exercises and Climate PowerPoint presentation.

The Academy is from 9 a.m. until 5:30.

You can sign up for free online at climatechangeforfamilies.com or call Adrienne Reed at 206-696-1280 for more information.

Watch this short, inspiring video to get the flavor of the program offered: “Now We Children Save the World.”

This is SO great! Thank you to all Plant for the Planet ambassadors- Orcas Island!
There is still lots of space for reaching the 48 student limit for this event. There is also opportunity for adults to join in.

Take a deep sweet breath of beautiful air that you and your tree help make and sign up!
