Hope is One of the World’s Most Powerful Investments
CAVU is a climate education nonprofit with over two decades of experience using storytelling and experiential learning to shift how young people see climate change.
Instead of despair, we spark resilience, creativity, and action.
Why? Because taking action is the most powerful antidote to hopelessness.
The CAVU Approach
Take the Climate Innovation Challenge
At CAVU, the seeds of hope begin with identifying an Entry Point for taking action on climate change.
Each CIC participant identifies something in their community that they care about and that is vulnerable to climate change, whether physical or cultural. They create a tangible project to protect that very thing.
This builds HOPE one student and one project at a time!
From Classrooms to Communities
Hope is often misunderstood. People tend to think that it is simply passive wishful thinking:
‘I hope something will happen, but I’m not going to do anything about it.’
This is indeed the opposite of real hope, which requires action and engagement.
