Testimonials
Hear directly from the community that
TCI programming and resources have impacted.
With TCI’s support I’ve been able to reach communities around the world with climate action programs.
Pooja Tilvawala
Winner of TCI’s first Climate Career
Through TCI I have opportunities to apply climate science to real world climate solutions, generate content to
help educate others on climate science and speak at seminars to help cultivate youth
engagement. | If we can go longer TCI’s mission revolves around youth engagement and helping to
provide individuals with the resources they need to get involved in the fight against climate change.
I would strongly encourage anyone who resonates with my story to utilize the resources available on TCI’s website and to explore opportunities that allow you to get involved within your
own communities.
