Start a Hub
If there’s no active Hub in your city, you can apply to start one!
Hubs empower local leaders to organize climate action tailored to their region’s needs. By leading a Hub, you’ll gain access to Climate Reality’s resources, training materials, and a community of fellow changemakers.
What you need to start a Hub
✔ Two committed co-leads who are trained Climate Reality Leaders
✔ Two additional members (who don’t need to be Climate Reality Leaders, but they can be)
✔A vision for your local Hub’s focus (e.g., renewable energy advocacy, climate education, policy engagement)
✔ A commitment to organize at least one event or campaign per year
✔ A willingness to collaborate with other Climate Reality Leaders and local partners
