Policy Toolkits

TCI’s policy toolkits are guides that help young change-makers understand how laws are made and how to make a difference in their communities. Think of them as user-friendly maps created by our policy expert, Javan Santos, and his team. Whether you’re curious about how policies work, want to talk to people who make the rules, or dream of turning your cool ideas into real laws, these toolkits have got you covered! They’re here to make policy stuff easy to understand and show you that you have the power to create positive changes where you live. So, if you want to be a climate policy advocate, these toolkits are here for you on the exciting journey of making the world a better place!

Policy Fellow Program

Policy Fellows create toolkits and other resources for youth to utilize and take action!

Every year, we host policy fellows from various states who work on developing policy resources for their states that empower youth to climate action. Our policy fellows are essential and provide a solid civic and nonpartisan framework to youth across the United States in their climate action at the local, state, and federal level.
