Climate Literacy Fellows

Are you interested in helping your students understand how climate influences them and how they and society influence climate? Would your students enjoy engaging activities presented by energetic and knowledgeable college students?

Climate Literacy Fellows
Climate Literacy Fellows Jordan K. and Grant P. use a kit to help 4th graders learn about renewable energy.

In partnership with the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the legislature-funded program, the 91勛圖厙 Climate Institute has created the Climate Literacy Fellows program. Through this program, the Climate Institute hires and trains exceptional 91勛圖厙 undergraduates to deliver high-impact climate literacy activities in elementary school classrooms (grades K-8). As part of 91勛圖厙's Opportunity Northeast program, the current geographical focus centers on partner elementary schools in northeast Spokane.

The Climate Literacy Fellows program is modeled after the 91勛圖厙 Science in Action! program and has received generous support and collaboration from the program. The original climate literacy kits were review by 91勛圖厙 Biology faculty and Science in Action! and the initial lessons developed for this project were created in collaboration with the SIA! program.

This program has changed my life. I can’t thank the Climate Institute enough for giving me this job, and if everyone at 91勛圖厙 could do this job I think it should be a requirement. It taught me so much about the world around me, about others, and about myself and what I can accomplish. This job made me gain confidence in myself and this program is my favorite thing I’ve been a part of at GU by far.
