INTRODUCTION
The Earth Uprising Global Youth Leadership Council (GYLC) is the decision making body for Earth Uprising’s global campaigns and actions. The GYLC is also the governing body for Earth Uprising’s global youth-led chapters, and will provide leadership, awareness and education throughout the youth climate movement.
The Earth Uprising GYLC consists of twelve (12) members, ages 18-24, democratically elected every year by the youth members of our organization. Two members of the GYLC are elected from each of these regions of the world: Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, North America, Oceania and SE Asia and South America.
Throughout the year, the council will be called upon to represent and speak at climate conferences and events, as well as engage with their local and regional political leaders as they advocate for climate action. They are all experienced speakers and knowledgeable community organizers.
Each GYLC member engages in grassroots activism in their local communities, and prioritizes this vital, change-making aspect of their work.
