Become A Green Chalice Climate Ambassador
Are you one of the millions of Americans who are growing more concerned about climate change? As we witness and experience impacts to our health, livelihoods, congregations and neighborhoods, we are increasingly looking for guidance on solutions from leaders in our daily lives, including faith leaders like you. With this four-hour training, which you can do online and on your own time, you will strengthen your knowledge about climate change, working for climate solutions, and how to speak and advocate on the issue with confidence and success.
