Human Impacts Institute - Youth Advisory
The Human Impacts Institute (HII) Youth Advisory Council (YAC) helps dedicated young climate activists engage in climate awareness and innovative ideas. HII is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness about climate change though art and social interactions. Our mission is to establish an inclusive, international youth network that will foster creative climate solutions.
In the YAC, you will also master important skills that you can use outside of environmental justice: managing tasks, public speaking, and leadership. By collaborating with board, advisory, and staff members, you will learn about the inner workings of a nonprofit. We also encourage any new members to propose changes to previous decisions

HOT TIP: You’ll never win the AP or SAT arms race, but you might be one of most interesting candidates a college sees if you have a leadership experience in the environmental field like this. Chances are good that you’ll also create lots of memorable and life-changing experiences and relationships (that will likely help you write some incredible college admissions essays).
