About Us

WHO WE ARE

We are a Bath based charity, set up and run by young people from  different schools around Bath. Our aim is to create long lasting links between our communities to help unite our generation and inspire people to take action towards a more environmentally friendly future. 

​

Originally set up 11 years ago, the Youth Climate Summit took on an active role in campaigning within our local area for environmental justice. Over the years, we've changed and evolved, and now organise an annual conference in which over 100 pupils aged 14-18 from across Bath come to listen to talks and partake in workshops given by world leaders in their environmental fields. The Summit offers a platform for the next generation to have their voices heard, and empowers young people to look towards a more sustainable and green future.

​

Each year a committee of 10-15 pupils aged 16-18 get together to design and facilitate the Summit. We organise everything from sponsorship, to attendance, to inviting speakers. That is what makes the event so unique - it is young people taking control, to shape the future we want.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

We are always looking for new volunteers to help organise and facilitate our events, especially our big conference, the Youth Climate Summit.

​

Being an organiser involves meeting up on a fortnightly basis, to discuss the designing of the event. There are lots of projects to get involved with, whether that's writing for our blog, or emailing potential speakers to invite them to the event, or helping with the advertising and working with our sponsors. There is something for everyone. This can sound a bit daunting, but we have a great team of leaders with a lot of years experience, so if you are remotely interested in the environment and the key issues which face our generation today, the Youth Climate Summit is almost certainly for you.

​

Being a facilitator, involves three training sessions, in which you receive training in management, and teamwork, which is highly valued by many employers. After these training sessions, you have the opportunity to help at the Youth Climate Summit, by running the day. Everything from who goes where, to what happens when, is in your control. The Summit is an amazing opportunity, and all of our facilitators and organisers really enjoy the whole experience. 

​

If you're interested in organising or facilitating the next event, do get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
