Building Skills for Environmental Advocacy, with Dr. A.J. Schneller (Skidmore College)
How can we help young people build the skills they need to become advocates for environmental sustainability? In this episode, Professor A.J. Schneller of Skidmore College describes how his course helps students develop their advocacy toolkit by requiring them to create a website, write an op-ed, author a policy memo for a public official, design a public service announcement, write an elevator speech, and more.
