This week I focused on communicating with individuals and chapters to strategize next steps and outreach in the coming weeks. I successfully facilitated a regional call in order to debrief and get feedback on the workshops. We also discussed next steps, in particular the need to work on creating student ambassador programs. After the call I wrote up notes about what we talked about and sent it to the whole team and asked organizers who were unable to attend if they had any more feedback or ideas. You can view the notes here. I also communicated with individuals as needed, answering questions and offering suggestions on where to go next. I hope to continue to provide assistance to the new chapters as they begin getting started. Meanwhile, I also continued to plug applications for new and existing applications. This week's primary focus was on plugging applications for the Maine chapter. Since they were particularly interested in finding a finance director, I focused on reading out to colleges in Maine, because college students are more likely to have experience with finance and interest in it than a high school student would. For the next few weeks, I will continue to help chapters with applications and I will think about new projects that we can work on over the next few months across the region. Looking forward to the next few weeks.

Overview of My InquiryFor my US Youth Climate Strike (USYCS) Inquiry I hope to learn what it means to work at the national level in order to organize and create change in our country. I will work with the National Outreach Team in order to develop partnerships around the country for the chapters of USYCS to be able to gain support from. I will work with my team in order to find partners and develop lasting relationships with them. Climate justice will not happen if we do not work with other organizations. The partnerships will help each state’s chapter to further develop themselves and create more of an impact on the state’s government leaders.
