Virtual

When coming up with an environmental project, the possibilities can feel endless. Our Future Blue Youth Council Members are here to help! Hear from three Council members who have created their own projects. Sarah created Muslim Artists for Justice, E Wen created EnviroPAST and P.S. Our Beaches, and Jasmine created Ocean Child Creative, and they will all walk you through what the process of creating each of these initiatives was like.

This webinar is offered as part of the Fellowship Program (money and support for water-related youth projects).

Sarah Ahmed is a community mobilizer that strives to take advantage of every opportunity to make the world a better place. She is very passionate about social and environmental activism, which derives from her motivated and driven personality. She is always looking for opportunities to grow, challenge herself, and make a difference. Sarah is also an alumna of the Greenhouse Youth Innovation Program, where she wrote and illustrated a book that educates children about the stigma surrounding people with disabilities. She serves the Multi-Action Council at her school as a Committee Chair, and is the co-founder of Muslim Artists for Justice.
