CEAD is hosted by UConn 4-H Youth Development – a program of UConn Extension. CEAD is designed to inspire environmental action through a one-day event for middle school students in Storrs, digital curriculum in their classrooms, and by having students submit their environmental action ideas to the Climate Change Challenge Competition.

Students are invited to share their environmental action ideas on Social Media using #ClimateChangeChallenge and using #ExtendtheChange to encourage friends and family to do the same.
