Power Shift brings young climate leaders together as a movement—building the organizing skills, shared excitement, and strong relationships needed for a long-term commitment to the grassroots work that will help us realize a just, clean energy-powered future.

Since 2007, Power Shift convergences have trained, connected, and inspired tens of thousands of young people and propelled the growth of the youth-led climate movement. Thanks in part to Power Shift, the youth climate movement has evolved from a chorus of advocates to a formidable political force.
This year, Power Shift is hitting the road, with four regional convergences from coast to coast in 2016.

In a critical year for our democracy and our climate, Power Shift 2016 is a place to train young leaders in the fight for climate justice, help amplify the voice and power of our local communities, and leverage that power to help the climate justice movement win at the national level.

The Power Shift Network is partnering with the California Student Sustainability Coalition for Power Shift West Convergence 2016. Join young climate and social justice leaders from all over the West for a weekend of workshops, trainings, speakers, and movement-building.

The Power Shift Network is offering some Power Shift 2016 scholarships so that as many people as possible can come to Power Shift, regardless of their financial situation. We are especially committed to making Power Shift accessible for traditionally underrepresented communities.
