Keweenaw Youth for Climate Action

Keweenaw Youth for Climate Action is a student activism group whose goal is to convince MTU and the Keweenaw to take action in addressing Climate Change. We aim to create a brave space for all people willing to advance sustainability, environmentalism, and addressing the climate crisis. We engage with the community in advocacy, education and supporting like-minded efforts. All our actions come from a place of love, justice, and respect for the Earth and its inhabitants. Some of our major projects: Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign - We are working towards getting Michigan Tech to remove financial investments from the Fossil Fuel Industry and re-invest in more sustainable options.Community Fruit Trees - We have planted and are maintaining ten fruit trees throughout Houghton and Hancock that will provide free fruit for anyone in the community.Sunrise Movement, Movement for Black Lives, Fridays for Future - We stand in solidarity with movements for social and environmental justice by organizing local protests, petitions, and demonstrations.UP Energy - We are working on finding ways for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to become more energy efficient. If you are concerned about Climate Change, come join us so we can work together to be part of the solution!
