Inspiring your students to Take Action, Emily Dyett
Empower your students when teaching about climate change by providing pathways to take action outside of the classroom. Join Youth & Climate Justice Coordinator of the WNY Environmental Alliance, Emily Dyett, and student members of the WNY Youth Climate Council, who will share ways in which you can inspire students to engage in climate advocacy by connecting to them to leadership and educational opportunities right here in WNY. Learn more about the global youth movement of climate activism and how students from Buffalo are making their mark.
Emily Dyett is the Coordinator of the Youth & Climate Justice Initiative for the WNY Environmental Alliance, giving power to young people to engage in the climate justice movement emerging both regionally and nationally. Dyett received her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies with a focus on Education & Policy from the University at Buffalo after completing her Associates in Environmental Science. She has previously worked as an environmental educator with organizations like Earth Spirit Educational Services, delivering programs focused on the ecology of our region to students throughout Erie County.
