Mission: To serve as a dynamic alliance of DC youth creating positive environmental change in our schools, communities, and government.
DC YEA was created by a small group of students from various DC universities in Fall of 2007. Already, DC YEA has grown to include students from American University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, Howard University, Catholic University, Gallaudet University, and Trinity University so far. Also, a group of students at Sidwell Friends and Maret high schools are working to develop a high school alliance.
We have come together with the hope of getting off our own, separate campuses to become a united force for change. We are currently in the process of researching DC policy to develop our ask. Also, we are planning an extensive schedule of coordinated activities around Earth Day. We are looking for community organizations to partner with, as well as potential donors or sponsors for our organization. Please check back often for updates.
Hello there- I’m one of the organizers for a Teen Summit we are planning to have May 3, 2008. We have been searching for any and all teens in the DC area who have been doing great work and can come to support and volunteer their time for this Teen Summit. I can provide more details for interested parties. Please let me know by sending me an email.
Thank you!

All,
Check out this website. It’s similar to what you’re doing in the DC area, but national. It connects students, teams, ideas and regions. Sign up to beta the website and get connected. If you have any questions about the site, internships, or anything “green” in general, hit me up.

Could someone add contact info for this site/blog. Also, are you interested in adding It’s Getting Hot in Here to the blogroll or in the form of a widget?
