Gardening in Our Warming World: Youth Grow! consists of an updated curriculum and unit-based Facilitator Guides for youth on Climate Change. It will complement the Cornell GBL adult “Gardening in a Warming World” with links to Youth Grow, Seed to Supper and 4-H activities. While activities include the science of climate change, cause and effect, and actions we take to address the issue, we would like the tone to be less alarming therefor preventing climate-anxiety. Activities are more self-reflective and inspiring, with exploration on what people and communities are doing, what youth themselves can do now, and how they see themselves in the future making positive changes. The focus is on systems thinking, sustainability and food systems. Activities are appropriate for Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced skill levels (grades 3-6, 7-12) with some early learning introduction.
 
The Gardening in Our Warming World: Youth Grow! curriculum consists of four conceptual units, each with corresponding activities and lesson plans following the 4-H Thriving Model, 4-H Guided Inquiry format, and Common Core Learning Standards. Included are links to relevant resources and additional lessons and activities, and suggestions on how to facilitate dialogue on this occasionally challenging topic. An accompanying PowerPoint presentation can be shared with other educators to introduce and curriculum and teaching strategies.
