State of Art: Anchorage Museum program aims to empower teens to address climate change

This week on State of Art we’re learning about the Anchorage Museum’s new Teen Climate Communicators program. Teens in grades 9-12 will work with museum educators and use museum resources to discuss and find solutions to climate change. The fall 2021 session will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, from Sept. 15 through Dec. 8. The deadline to sign up is 11:59 p.m. Sept. 7.

We’re joined by Anchorage Museum educators Molissa Udevitz and Missy Gaulke, as we discuss the program, why the focus on teens and what participants can expect.
