Energy and Environmental Summer Program Facilitators

ELOC assists marginalized communities in preparing for climate change’s adverse effects through education and advocacy. The changes in the earth’s climate are unprecedented in modern times. Many questions regarding this phenomenon remain unknown, such as: How rapidly will climate change advance? How will it impact our daily lives and dictate where we live? And finally, what can humans do to reverse and mitigate its impact? ELOC conducts a six-week summer camp for preteens and teens in Westchester County’s environmental justice communities.

The theme for the 2025 summer program is “Weather and Climate.” Students will explore the distinctions between weather and climate, examine different weather phenomena, and study methods for measurement and prediction. Additionally, they will investigate the factors that influence weather and climate, as well as the impact of populations on the environment in relation to climate change.
