The Community Climate Council is hosting a Community Climate Mixer — an energizing evening designed to connect passionate people, spark ideas, and build real momentum for local climate action.
At CCC, we know that climate action doesn’t just happen in policy rooms or headlines — it happens through people, relationships, and community-led work. This mixer is designed to bring together students, emerging professionals, and community leaders who are curious about green career pathways and passionate about creating change in their communities.
Expect meaningful conversations, insights from community mobilizers working on the ground in climate action, and space to connect with others who care deeply about building a more just and climate-resilient future.
