Challenge Events
During Youth Climate Ecochallenge, we will be hosting some optional virtual events to help you learn more about Drawdown climate change solutions and to connect you with other people who are excited to take action, just like you. With the realities of how COVID-19 is affecting our world and the frequently changing federal, state, and city guidelines, we realize our capacity might change on when and how events are offered. Please check in here often to see updates and more information about how and when to join these events. See below for more information.If you have questions about an event, please contact Rachel Wrublik or 503-542-0513.
