SVYCA’S 2026 youth climate SUMMIT

Saturday, August 8, 2026 | 9:30AM - 3PM

@ quinlan Community Center

Our annual Youth Climate Summit is coming up on Aug 8th! Youth advocates and climate leaders around the Bay Area are coming together for a day of learning, networking, discussion, and action around innovative climate solutions and strategies! At SVYCA's Annual Summit, we'll offer action-oriented breakout sessions, panel presentations, and keynote speakers to help all attendees make a difference and fight climate change.

Due to a change of venues, we will have limited seats for this year’s summit. We encourage you to register as soon as possible while space is still available.
