In 2007 over 6,000 young people from across the United States came together at the University of Maryland for the first national youth climate summit.  These 6,000 students received training towards clean climate action and attended talks from House speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Ed Markey, Green For All’s Van Jones and other inspiring environmental leaders.

An extraordinary 12,000 young people assembled in Washington DC for Power Shift 2009. Over 6,000 of those attending contributed to the largest citizen lobby day in United States history and successfully petitioned to take the White House off coal power.
