Project Description

Mycelium Youth Network (MYN) is a pioneering San Francisco Bay Area youth-centered organization founded in 2017, dedicated to bridging the gap between increasing climate-related disasters and the abilities of young people to proactively respond, by drawing from ancestral traditions and practices as well as cutting-edge Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math (STEAM) programming. We prepare predominantly low-income Black and Brown youth in the Bay Area — who are most vulnerable to and already feeling the effects of environmental racism — for climate change. We empower youth to grow as visionary leaders and budding environmentalists, connect with ancestral teachings, and trust in the wisdom of the natural world.
