Join our virtual network of young climate changemakers across Africa

ACA Youth Network

Let’s be honest,

Figuring out how to take climate action can be overwhelming. Being in community makes it easier.

So, we’ve created one just for you.

What is the ACA Youth Network?

Our ACA Youth Network is the community core of our organisation. It’s primarily a WhatsApp and email community filled with hundreds of climate changemakers from over 20 African countries.

The network offers a place for these young changemakers to connect, share opportunities and climate news, ask for support, and get involved in our work.

It’s a space for young people across Africa to connect with like-minded changemakers in a safe space that aims to share ways to act and advocate for climate justice while amplifying youth voices in the climate movement.
