What To Expect

Connect and Network

Meet educators, community leaders, nonprofits, agencies, and industry peers from across Arizona. Facilitated networking will help you map local assets, surface overlapping efforts, and form cross-sector teams. 

Co-create A Vision

Define what high-quality, equitable youth sustainability engagement looks like across Arizona—inside classrooms and in communities. Capture a shared vision that local teams can adapt and advance.

Shared Measures

Collaborate on a practical set of indicators—student agency and skills, community impact, participation, and inclusion—so programs can assess progress in comparable ways. 

Develop Action Plans

Join focused working groups to draft plans with owners, milestones, and needed supports. Topics include student-led projects, citizen science, AI for resilience education, and ecosystem mapping.
