Evelyn

My name is Evelyn Michelle, and I’m currently a senior in high school. Since middle school I’ve been interested in climate change/justice but haven’t had the chance/opportunity, outside of school, to participate in something related to it. With time, my desire to make a change began to fade, but then I heard about the Leaven Youth Garden Program (we named Root Buddies) and joined this small but mighty group!

As youth, it is important to come together and work towards the future we envision for ourselves, not only because Climate Change will directly affect us, but because it is the correct thing to do. It is our duty, and it is in our hands to establish the future we want.
