CLEAR
Community Leadership on the Environment, Advocacy, and Resilience
The 10-week CLEAR program provides participants with the groundwork to become climate justice educators, leaders, and innovators in their own communities and beyond. Participants will develop a deep and intersectional understanding of climate science, local climate change threats, and solutions.
Program graduates can apply for a Neighbors to Leaders Fellowship—mini-grants with continued mentorship—to support their own community resilience projects or initiatives.

"Before CLEAR Miami, I was concerned about the physical and emotional effects of climate change, but did not know how to implement and affect change within my community. CLEAR taught me that no voice is too small to affect change, which is how I was able to enact a hurricane disaster preparedness workshop to my 150 students through the CLEAR fellowship. I am forever grateful for the resources and opportunities CLEAR Miami gave me, especially since it helped me realize my passion of the social impacts of climate change, which I am pursuing in graduate school this fall."

"CLEAR taught me to think critically and gave us a platform where we otherwise wouldn’t have had one. It put us in front of people making decisions. It’s one of those opportunities you really have to take advantage of. I’ve become a better speaker and exposed myself to great opportunities."
