The YEA! MN program structure, designed to support hands-on leadership training through student-led facilitation and peer mentorship, includes the following:

• A Youth Steering Committee with students representing a variety of schools across the Metro
• Two student chairs voted in every school year by their peers
• Four large meetings, planned and facilitated by the Steering Committee, held at different high school locations across the Twin Cities, targeting high school youth, focused on a specific theme. Examples include:
  • Climate Change Basics
  • Climate Policy and Youth Engagement
  • Environmental Justice and Global Connections
  • Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Solutions
• Opportunities to engage in other happenings throughout the year (i.e. annual Earth Day and Lobby Day events)
