Project TEAL (Training for Environmental Activists and Leaders) aims to educate the UCLA student body, regardless of major or background, on the environmental justice crisis our generation is facing. Through trainings, workshops, and other educational events, we hope to empower these young people to become effective environmental advocates, in whatever field they choose to pursue.

 

The knowledge required for environmental activism should be harnessed by all, not just environmental scientists, and our trainings are designed to allow for the communication of this knowledge throughout our campus and beyond.

 

We focus on two main spheres of environmental justice: air quality (advocating for clean, breathable air both locally and internationally) and toxic herbicides (addressing the health hazards of toxic herbicides in agricultural and urban spaces).
