Welcome to the Environmental Youth Conference blog!
The City of Los Angeles believes that today's youth are our biggest allies in our fight against climate change and global warming.
The Environmental Youth Conference engages young Angelenos to play a critical role in not only participating in our greening initiatives, but helping us educate others as well. This conference, the largest of its kind anywhere in the world, is for the youth and by the youth. Our youngsters run it, conduct workshops, publicize it, experience it and enjoy it.
Be part of it today! If you've attended the Environmental Youth Conference in the past, tell us what you think!
