The world is in need of climate action. Let’s unite, fellow CASC members, and inspire our youth, communities and beyond.
It all starts with a little inspiration before youth are equipped with the knowledge and power to make change. Together, we’ll awaken their inner climate heroes to take action!
Mission details will be released on September 23rd at the 2021 CASCADE Awards.
