GenAction: Rallying Youth Climate Heroes!
Together, CASC Members will inform and inspire Canada’s youth to take action for climate change.
In 2021, Environment and Climate Change Canada approved an application led by Discovery Centre, in partnership with the Canadian Association of Science Centres (CASC), Science North and The Exploration Place for funding from the Environmental Damages Fund (EDF) to Inspire Youth to Climate Action.
The GenAction program has come to an end and we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve exceeded our goal! Together, we’ve engaged over 288,740 youth across Canada to take climate action!
- 45,000+ youth participated in GenAction camps
- 140,000+ youth engaged through environmental school programs
- 45,000 youth reached through gamified learning activities
- 46 bilingual educational resources developed for educators
