The 2024 Climate Corps Fellowship, organized by the
Girls for Climate Action
(G4CA), has successfully kicked off, equipping about 20 young women and girls
in Uganda with the tools and skills to become effective climate advocates and
activists.
The 2024 cohort of the Climate Corps Fellowship
consists of 20 young women and girls aged 16-30 from Uganda. Over the course of
the next six months, these fellows will receive comprehensive training,
mentorship, and networking opportunities to advocate for climate action, raise
awareness, and influence policies at the national and international level.
The program has begun with a 1-week residential
training and will be followed by two weeks of virtual sessions to plan their
projects and be matched with mentors. For the next 5 months, the fellows will
engage in one-on-one mentorship and participate in communities of practice,
where they will collaborate on various advocacy initiatives and implement their
own climate solutions.
The fellowship aims to equip young women to organize
and mobilize communities, implement real climate solutions, and join a movement
of young women and girls advocating for climate justice,
At the end of the 6-month journey, the Climate
Corps fellows will come together for a graduation ceremony to celebrate their
achievements and continued commitment to the climate justice movement.
This program is a powerful example of how grassroots organizations are taking the lead in empowering marginalized groups to be at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Follow for Details.
