Invest in the Architects of a Resilient Future

The Challenge:

Young people are growing up in a world defined by climate instability, often feeling like spectators to a crisis they didn't create. At Future Climate Collective (FCC), we believe climate change isn't just a science problem—it’s a design challenge that requires a new generation of leaders.

Our Proven Track Record: In just twelve months, we have moved from vision to high-impact execution. Your support doesn't just fund a "what if"; it scales a model that is already working:  

  • Direct Impact: Successfully partnered with 6 Portland Public Schools, working with over 80 teens.

  • Professional Rigor: Onboarded a specialized “Climate Corps” of 5 Fellows and 10 Interns to turn student ideas into professional-grade projects and power our operations.  

  • Community Mobilization: Recruited over 50 volunteers and launched our inaugural Climathon—a high-stakes innovation sprint for teen leaders.  

  • New Narratives: Deployed a literacy curriculum that moves students from "gloom and doom" to active agency.  

Your Investment at Work

We are seeking to bridge a $350,000 funding gap to meet our 2026 scaling objectives:  

  • Triple the Reach: Help us expand from 153 to 412 students engaged annually.  

  • Scale the Field: Grow our presence from 6 to 26 partner schools over the next four years.  

  • Seed Real Solutions: Increase student-led "Impact Projects" from 6 to 16 annually, providing the capital and mentorship needed for local resilience.  

“When you invest in the Future Climate Collective, you aren’t just funding a lesson plan—you are building a career pipeline and securing a more resilient world.” - Dominique Johnson, Co-Founder
