Check out these great shots from the runway! We had an incredible lineup of designers submit pieces to the Youth Sustainable Fashion Show this year. Congrats to all of our winners, and to everyone who displayed a piece or outfit in the fashion show!

Congratulations on an amazing Youth Eco-Action Showcase! Over 250 people registered to explore our Youth Climate Advocacy Committee's ambitious environmental initiatives. Our YCAC members worked very hard on solutions-focused projects and took action on variety of issues: AI policy and education, aquatic restoration, sustainable businesses, composting in schools, pollinator gardening, sustainable fashion, and a simulation game about climate policy. Thank you to all of our YCAC members and to everyone who came out to support us!

📢Make your voice matter on Earth Day. The thing full of forests, oceans, animals, birds and habitats that we call home. And our CAL Fellows are putting in the work investigating real-world challenges and taking action in their communities.

We're proud to work alongside incredible partners like @modsftl with their EcoExplorers, @massaudubon, the @wildcenter, the @nhmu and @phippsconservatory to support youth-led environmental action.

This is just a glimpse of that work in motion—happening across our network by a community committed to the next generation of changemakers.

Thank you to our partners—and to the young people leading the way.

I can't believe today is the Youth Eco-Action Showcase, our last event of the 2025-2026 YCAC cohort! This year, we have some of the most dedicated, passionate, kind, thoughtful, and innovative young people in our committee. We're so excited for you all to continue on your climate action journeys, whether that's returning to YCAC next year, going away to college, and/or deepening your own personal work. It's been such an honor to work with you this year! Enjoy every second of the Showcase tonight!

Love, the YCAC Leadership Team ❤️ by @phippsycac
