Gen Zers
Climate Mental Health Network centers your lives, voices, and energy in our work. We provide groups and communities the tools, resources, and programs to help understand how climate change affects your outlook and to get supports for your community.
We do this as optimists. We believe self-care is real and needed: it’s better to do this together than alone; it gives us meaning and identity; it respects our ancestors and builds our legacy; and it frees us to become the people we want to be.

Our vision for the Gen Z Advisors is to cultivate a group that learns, grows, collaborates, and creates together. The Gen Z Advisors consists of a cohort of 12 upcoming leaders in the climate movement from across the United States.
The Gen Z Advisors program aims to:
-
Support the cohort in developing skills and gaining experience in leadership, collaborative design, and community engagement, especially in climate mental health.
-
Share practical tools to deal with climate emotions.
-
Build community around climate mental health and social justice.
-
Encourage action through individual and collective projects that promote climate mental health and social justice.
-
Uplift diverse youth voices within CMHN and in the greater climate movement.
-
Promote intergenerational collaboration and shared power.
-
Compensate youth for their work and participation.
-
Provide guidance to CMHN, ensuring that the organization meaningfully supports young people and involves their voices.
Please note: We are no longer accepting applicants for the this cohort. Please stay tuned for news about our next cohort.
