Nathália Soares Mansi

Santo André, Brazil

I began my journey as a changemaker through a remote Internship at YOUTHTOPIA, where I learned directly from activists like Lily Lim and Melati Wijsen by creating spreadsheets, writing blog posts, and doing research. At the age of 16, I founded my school’s first ever environmental club called “Jardim do Liceu”, which now consists of a team of 20 high schoolers. Throughout 2025, we have recycled over 4,5 tons of materials and educated 150 students. Recently, I also became a Climate Ambassador at Climate Cardinals, where I create climate-related content for social media in Brazilian Portuguese. Also, I accepted the position of Representative of South America at the Student Environmental Ambassador Program, through which I’ll help expand this organization’s presence in Brazil. I am so excited to be joining this Council!
