In a world where climate action is more urgent than ever, we are thrilled to announce the Climate Champions workshop, presented by Saklan alumnus Ryan Lo. The workshop, open to students ages 8 to 10, will be held during the first week of August here at Saklan. The Climate Champions workshop is a call to action and awareness, designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective climate advocacy. Ryan has crafted the course to explore the science behind climate and environmental issues, while also delving into climate justice. Through engaging discussions and actionable insights, students will explore the intersections of environmental sustainability and social justice, reflecting Ryan’s holistic approach to advocacy.
Ryan, a leader who has seamlessly blended his passion for environmental justice with impactful community leadership, brings a wealth of experience to this workshop. His award-winning podcast, “A Change is a Chance,” has completed its 34th episode and was started when he was an 11-year-old here at Saklan. Ryan currently leads environmental initiatives at Head Royce, such as “Green Operations” and the “Environmental Justice Initiative.” Furthermore, he has deepened his knowledge of environmental issues by engaging in courses at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Columbia. From his days as a student council representative at Saklan to becoming a leader in pivotal environmental initiatives at Head Royce and beyond, Ryan’s journey is a testament to the power of dedicated, informed action.
Climate Champions is not just a workshop; it’s an opportunity for your child to connect with like-minded individuals and gain valuable insights into climate advocacy. As Ryan shares his experiences, strategies, and hopes, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
We at Saklan take immense pride in our alumni’s achievements and are excited to support Ryan in this endeavor. His commitment to making the world a better place resonates with our core values of creativity, compassion, and courage.
With pride and awe,
David
