Join us this spring for a lineup of events designed to connect SF State students with environmental action, community engagement, and career pathways in climate and sustainability.
Throughout the semester, Climate HQ and our campus and community partners will host workshops, outdoor trips, volunteer opportunities, and career events that help students explore environmental issues and build skills for climate leadership.
All events are FREE and open to SF State students.
Be sure to check back often — we will continue adding new events and updating details throughout the semester.
