In 2024, the FBC Youth Advisory Committee collaborated to put together an FBC Youth Program multimedia resource library, aimed at addressing the following needs for youth around sustainability and climate action:
- Accessing locally relevant information;
- Ways and Spaces for Collaboration;
- Opportunities for getting involved (in climate action);
- Mental health/climate anxiety support; and
- Inclusive engagement.
This library is a living resource that will continue to be updated and added to by FBC Youth Program participants and alumni alike.
