Our World Is Changing—
Where Does That Leave Our Youth?
Mycelium Youth Network is intended to bridge the gap between the increasing incidents of climate-related disasters and the ability of young people, who will inherit the world, to respond to those challenges with creativity, courage, resilience, hope, and real-world practical skills and training.
​
Blending the traditions and practices of local indigenous people and the technologies of today, our hands-on training empowers young people to face the uncertainty of their future with skills needed to survive and thrive in a climate-challenged world. MYN is ancestrally-grounded, focused on climate resilience, and offers free or low-cost classes to low-income youth in the Bay Area.
SINGLE WORKSHOPS
MYN offers one-off hands-on educational workshops on specific topics related to climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation. Single workshops last 60 to 90 minutes and are a combination of Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math.
