Climate art for kids

A new goal to work with more kids and college students this year! 🎨

I got back from Asheville this weekend and had the best time coaching a group of college students from the south around personal development and social entrepreneurship. I haven’t worked with college students before (in the past I’ve worked with K-12) and I was blown away by these folks! They were so filled with ideas and passion for wanting to make an impact in the world. 

The other amazing coaches on the left and the 80 college kids on the right!

It reminded me of how much I love working with kids. The coloring book about climate change I’m working on is a great fit for helping bring more of this type of work into my life. I also want to run my climate art workshops for schools. If you work with a school or in the education space and have other ideas on how to collab, I’m all ears! I previously co-founded an after school program to teach kids how to code so this is a full circle moment for me.  

I’m running a workshop with The Climate Museum for Earth Day this Sunday and I’ll have some of my coloring pages there. It’s going to be the first time seeing those in action! If you live in NY feel free to come through, just RSVP here.

That’s all for now! Hope you’re gonna get to do something special for Earth Day this weekend (but really everyday is Earth Day) 😃

P.S. I already have an update since I started writing this piece in the morning. I just had a call with a school in upstate NY and am going to be leading climate art workshops for their climate youth summit in a few weeks! WOOT WOOT!
