EPA Seeking Young Adults to Serve on NEJAC Work
Group on Climate Justice
Applications Due: November 30, 2015
It's not too late to be a part of a first of its kind youth­led advisory work group. EPA
is seeking young adults, ages 18 to 29, who are involved in climate change efforts
and/or advocacy, to assist the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council
(NEJAC) in developing advice and recommendations to assist EPA in developing
best practices to address climate change concerns. EPA recognizes the key role that
youth play in bringing awareness to climate change and offering solutions to
transform our societies toward a low­carbon and climate resilient future. It is
essential that youth have a seat at the table and help inform the hard decisions that
must be made that affect so many. Thus, the formation of the NEJAC Youth
Perspectives on Climate Justice Work Group seeks to include young people in
assisting EPA in addressing climate change concerns.
The work group will explore several issues, including:
• How can EPA effectively engage with youth on climate change and adaptation
planning using new resources and tools designed to help communities become more
resilient and better protect themselves from the impacts of climate change? What
activities and mechanisms (e.g. policy, guidance, or protocol) should EPA consider
to authentically engage and work collaboratively with youth, and other interested
stakeholders, to identify and address climate change impacts on overburdened and
vulnerable communities?
• What best practices, including efforts to address the compounding health
vulnerabilities brought on by climate change, can be provided using youth driven
projects from across the United States from which results­oriented recommendations
can be drawn?
The NEJAC Youth Perspectives on Climate Justice Work Group will be convened in
January 2016. We anticipate that the work group will conduct its business primarily
through bimonthly teleconference calls. This work group may meet face­to­face
once annually. The average workload for the members is approximately 4 to 5 hours
per month, which represents a rough estimate of the time members will spend in
teleconference calls and reviewing relevant documents.
We are looking forward to working with a geographically diverse group of emerging
thought leaders in the climate change space. Your Voice Matters! Apply now for the
new "Climate Justice Youth Work Group."
Check out the EJ in Action Blog to read more about why your voice matters.

Study Away Opportunities
Volunteer Abroad for Student of University of
Wisconsin ­ Stevens Point I am reaching out again to notify you of opportunities for University of Wisconsin
Stevens Point students to engage in volunteering and service­learning abroad with
One Heart Source in Jamaica and South Africa next summer. Our upcoming
application deadline is December 4. One Heart Source (OHS) is an entrepreneurial non­profit organization that designs
and catalyzes education programs that empower vulnerable people and communities
with choice and opportunity. The organization’s model of international mentorship
connects university students to vulnerable youth and communities across cultural,
social, and economic boundaries. With its partner communities in Jamaica, South
Africa, and Tanzania, the OHS International Collective provides holistic care and
academic excellence as a means of ending the vicious cycle of generational
poverty. We believe students of University of Wisconsin Stevens Point would benefit
greatly from the experience of volunteering and teaching abroad.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider sending the following information
(below the line) about volunteering in South Africa and Jamaica to students through
your mailing list or social media. Please let me know if the message can be
forwarded.
