Join Our Youth Advisory Council

New Dream empowers individuals, communities, and organizations to transform the ways they consume to improve well-being for people and the planet.

We seek the expertise of young leaders in North America ages 12-25 to help guide and improve our work. 

You are…

• Opinionated about how the world works, and how it impacts your future
• Passionate about and involved in communities you belong to
• Concerned and hopeful that your effort and your generation can make positive change
• Someone who believes that there are solutions to the problems we face
• Open to listening to other perspectives and sharing in productive dialogue
• Committed to equity, social justice, and amplifying voices that often go unheard

Participation in the Youth Council includes:

• providing feedback on potential tools or resources for youth, to let us know if they are something you would use, and/or how to improve them (e.g., a guide to sharing, a back to school checklist, a toolkit to start or promote a school recycling program, etc.)
• the willingness to test or pilot tools or resources, and provide results  
• occasional video calls with other youth leaders and New Dream staff to share more about the challenges you experience as you work toward a "less stuff, more meaning" way of living
• promotion of New Dream’s youth-centered tools and resources (e.g,. via social media channels, or within your school, church, youth group, etc.).

Thank you in advance for your wisdom and support!
