You’re the Leader We’ve Been Waiting For (and we’ve got a video to prove it)

It’s summer. It’s hot. The beach is calling…but ACE New England team members Brian and Rouwenna are forgoing vacation, in favor of work.
Really? Yup–and they’re happy about it! ACE staff across the country are hard at work during the summer months, preparing for next year and getting ready to continue ACE’s support of youth leaders in the fight against climate change.
Last week, Brian and Rouwenna returned from a multi-day workshop that focused on how to make climate science come alive with media production (translation: when students make an awesome video about climate change, people listen). In just a few days, they put this video together to a) show how easy it is to make a video (you can, too!) and b) to remind people everywhere that they–you–are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.
Watch it, share it, and if you’re inspired, send us your own video in response!
