This blog was written by Sara Black, Southern Energy Network's lead training fellow and a student at University of Georgia, Athens. She is part of the Georgia YES! coalition. Click here to find out more on how to get involved or attending their Georgia YES Spring Summit in April. 

As a part of revamping their state network, Georgia Youth for Environmental Solutions (GaYES) is spearheading a training tour- and it started last weekend. 

The program, the first of its kind, seeks to polish the teaching skills of environmental organizers across Georgia to travel to different environmental groups around the state and give trainings in different grassroots organizing principles and skill sets. Campuses like Valdosta, the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Pope High School, and Walton High School have already indicated interest in being trained.
