Our Mission

Climate Classes DC is a growing local community that empowers individuals to address climate change by learning and sharing sustainable life skills together.

Our History

Climate Classes volunteers came together for their first meeting in early March 2020. With the onset of the pandemic, the group shifted online and adapted to several different formats to start conversations and to distribute information about climate change and about local resources to combat climate change in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia region. In the past two years, Climate Classes has held several online, in-person, and hybrid events, including online cooking demonstrations and panel discussions on clean energy and the fashion industry. Since its founding, Climate Classes has prioritized listening to and engaging with diverse communities of stakeholders and has partnered with local and national groups, including Remake, Anacostia High School, and the Friends of Anacostia Park.
