You form study groups, hang out in video calls with alumni and have lifetime access to this network. These are your future co-founders, employers, comrades. On graduating, students see dozens of projects from some of the top climate organizations in the world. Students are able to choose those that best leverage their own skills and can team up with their community and work directly on challenging problems to solve climate change.
