Welcoming in our 1st Sol Nation Ambassador Cohort for 2024! We couldn't be more thrilled to collaborate with this vibrant and enthusiastic group of young individuals who are determined to create a lasting impact in their community. Their dedication to incorporating Environmental Justice into their community-building initiatives is genuinely inspiring. As we embark on this journey together, we are excited about the endless possibilities that 2024 holds for empowering our community, especially among black youth.Sol Tech Academy introduces people of all ages from historically marginalized communities to see technology through a climate justice lens. Specifically, we prioritize equipping young people with training, access to different coding languages, connecting technology's role in their future career choice, and experiential opportunities to survey the environmental quality of their communities. Participants are encouraged to own their own climate tech solutions relevant to what they want to see around them daily, in their communities, and in their future.
Ambassadors Program is one of the programs under SOL TECH, designed to engage individuals who have a desire to reduce the Green Gap, advocate for climate justice issues and support and amplify Sol Nations mission, vision and various programs.
We provide workshops, summits, clubs, maker spaces, fellowships, and other relevant experiences to connect climate justice, community, and technology. This initiative shapes our contribution to the improvement of socio-economic mobility, the digital divide, and out-of-school time outcomes that have disproportionately impacted our target BIPOC community.
Campaign Goals
- Ensure all Ambassadors can travel and have room and board for cohorts.
- Allow students of Sol Tech Academy to have the necessary resources for learning such computers and school supplies.
