Good morning,

HBRF and partners, as part of the Emerging Climate Leaders Collaborative, are leading a Virtual Youth Forum on Climate-Smart Infrastructure on Monday, May 2 from 12:00-1:00 pm eastern. Please see details below.

We are seeking two students (undergrad or graduate) from New England to serve as moderators for the event. Student moderators will receive one-on-one training and will share the virtual stage with the expert panelists. Interested students, please send me an email (sgarlick@hubbardbrookfoundation.org) with your contact information and a short video (<1 min) introducing yourself (name, school, a few words about why you are interested). Videos may be attached via email or uploaded to this Google Folder.

All inquiries need to be received by 5:00 pm eastern this Wednesday, April 13. The prep session for student moderators will be held during the evening one day next week (week of April 18). Please share this opportunity with your students. 

Thank you,
Sarah

About the Live Public Event
May 2, 12:00-1:00 pm via Zoom

Virtual Youth Forum on Climate-Smart Infrastructure
Building Affordable Housing in New England with Forest Products that Capture Carbon and Clean Energy Technology

Join lawmakers and leaders in forest products, clean energy, and housing for this lively discussion.

New federal funding for infrastructure creates the potential to invest in climate- and energy-smart construction that meets the housing demand, boosts our forest-based economy, and fights climate change - all at the same time! Join us at the intersection of climate, forests, and housing for a conversation about this special opportunity to build sustainable, affordable, equitable housing using locally-sourced climate-smart wood products and cutting-edge clean energy technology.
