Mobilizing student and community climate action in Vernon and beyond.
Climate Action Ripple Effect (CARE) is a student learning and community engagement program launched in 2022 in Vernon, BC that builds climate awareness and action through innovative local solutions. Student project teams collaborate with mentors from all sectors to create diverse projects in support of municipal climate objectives and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
In spring 2025, Fresh Outlook Foundation is working with almost 1,000 students in School Districts 22 (Vernon/Lumby) and 23 (Central Okanagan) to create projects that support local climate solutions for nature and biodiversity, agriculture and food, energy and buildings, waste reduction, eco-friendly transportation, and human health and culture.
Middle-school students for SD23 will present their projects at the Expo of Awesome, May 15th at UBCO. All SD22 students and high-schoolers from SD23 will showcase their learning outcomes at the CARE Expo, May 29th from 9 am-2 pm at the Vernon Curling Club.
