The 2024 Climate Corps Fellowship, organized by the Girls for Climate Action (G4CA), has successfully kicked off, equipping about 20 young women and girls in Uganda with the tools and skills to become effective climate advocates and activists.

The 2024 cohort of the Climate Corps Fellowship consists of 20 young women and girls aged 16-30 from Uganda. Over the course of the next six months, these fellows will receive comprehensive training, mentorship, and networking opportunities to advocate for climate action, raise awareness, and influence policies at the national and international level.

The program has begun with a 1-week residential training and will be followed by two weeks of virtual sessions to plan their projects and be matched with mentors. For the next 5 months, the fellows will engage in one-on-one mentorship and participate in communities of practice, where they will collaborate on various advocacy initiatives and implement their own climate solutions.

At the end of the 6-month journey, the Climate Corps fellows will come together for a graduation ceremony to celebrate their achievements and continued commitment to the climate justice movement.

This program is a powerful example of how grassroots organizations are taking the lead in empowering marginalized groups to be at the forefront of the fight against climate change. Follow for Details.
