The Huntington Sustainable CHANGES (Climate, Health, Art, Intersectionality, Growth, Education and Storytelling) Youth Summit

The Huntington Sustainable CHANGES Youth Summit will leverage the themes explored in the upcoming exhibition Storm Cloud: Picturing the Origins of Our Climate Crisis at The Huntington, also part of PST ART: Art and Science Collide. The summit will take place in fall 2024, engaging high school students in a dialog focused on youth-driven solutions to the climate crisis. The planning of this large-scale event will involve The Huntington, other local museum partners, and, most critically, young people deeply engaged with climate and environmental issues. They will be invited to design a summit that will empower its participants to enact independent sustainability initiatives in their communities. Following their independent projects during PST ART, summit participants will reconvene to share ideas, engender leadership, and inspire their generation to become active agents of change in the fight against climate change and in pursuit of a more sustainable future.
