Hi Carolyn,

Good Morning! 

Krysta Hougen from NOAA suggested that I contact you. She shared the beautiful work you are doing within the climate anxiety space, it is incredible! 

We are expanding our network of Youth Climate Institute chapters across the United States. We run the only national organization for certifying high school students as climate ambassadors. Here's some background information:

Youth Climate Institute Introduction
YCI Ambassadors Speak Out

I am delighted to share that we opened our first chapter in New Jersey last week at Indian Hills HIgh School. It is being led by a student leader- yeah! 

I am writing to ask if you might be interested in learning more about opening a chapter in your area or if you might know of other contacts in New Jersey that would be interested in lifting up student voice through climate activism. 

I am attaching an invitation for a general interest meeting. If you also want to connect one one one, please let me know. 

Thanks so much! 

Ann
