Klamath Union High School

My school is trying to raise awareness and create learning opportunities around the social, economic, and environmental concerns in our region and state. We appreciate Our Future´s ability to provide us with connections across the state.

• Community action and civic engagement (e.g. marches/rallies, public speaking, letter writing campaigns).
• Being involved with legislative actions.
• Having student representatives on a “youth climate council” in our city and/or county.
• Becoming certified as an Oregon Green School.
• Enhance our waste reduction practices (e.g. composting, paper use, recycling, beverage containers, reusable utensils in the cafeteria).
• Training opportunities for Our Future leaders (e.g. leadership skills, fundraising, etc.).
• Training opportunities for other students at our school (e.g. climate science, how to get involved in environmental/social justice issues).
• Increase club membership (including recruiting Freshman/Sophomores into our club/team).
• Art projects that will raise the awareness of climate change, or the importance or sustainability/social justice.
• Supporting the Our Children’s Trust trial ( https://www.ourchildrenstrust.org/juliana-v-us ).

We are primarily project based so all the work we do is vital, and it is not a huge time commitment to be involved.
