The Climate Resilience and Education for Dedicated Youth (Climate READY) program was designed to teach 15–17-year-old students in low socio-economic communities to be agents of change in their community and to help prepare south Florida for the hazards of climate change. Students were taught the basics of climate, ways to be resilient to change, and how to become engaged with their communities. Students felt more prepared, confident, and able to communicate within their communities.
