There is a world of learning out there. We are standing on the shoulders of the movements and activists who came before us.

We encourage 350PDX volunteers to be on an ongoing journey of learning through their time as activists. This page has dozens of prerecorded trainings and resources for you to get skilled up.

There are so many trainings and resources out there it can be overwhelming to know where to start. So we’ve split them into more manageable levels: Foundational, Core, and Advanced. There is also a section for upcoming Live trainings that we’re putting on in the near future.

But first you should check out our new Summer School online course below.

Climate Movement Fundamentals

A free, self-paced, online course that explores the fundamentals of the climate justice movement. 25 video lessons take you through three sections:

  • People Power 101
  • Climate Justice 101
  • Finding Your Place In The Movement

This course was originally called 350PDX Summer School, as we made it over the summer of 2022, but the content is relevant all year round. In some of the videos you might hear it referred to as Summer School, so just a heads up!
