Lead local environmental change
Want more climate action? Got ideas for a greener future? Green Futures Now gives young people (ages 12–25 in south-west Victoria) the chance to turn ideas into real projects.
The program starts each April–May, after the Youth Environment Summit, and runs for 6–8 weeks. You’ll team up with others to design and deliver a project that tackles an environmental issue YOU care about!
