ABOUT US

Supporting the next generation of changemakers

Young people are leading the fight for climate action.

Taking to the streets in the masses, 1.6 million youth took to the streets in 2019 – labelled the year of the ‘youthquake’. But, with a long road ahead, we risk losing agents of change to burnout, poor mental health and climate anxiety.

Let’s be real, we’re in a mess.

The Resilience Project is an award-winning organisation, transforming the lives of those transforming the world. We resource changemakers with the resilience skills that help them to find their peace, their people and their power.

Our free community youth programmes take place across the world. Creating the space for education and decompression, helping young changemakers build valuable peer-support networks.

Our vision is a resilient changemaking culture, where kinship and compaasion are embedded within the fabric of changemaking communities.

Growing peer-support communities

We’ve designed our community-led approach to spread across the youth climate movement so that all young changemakers can benefit.

These spaces, supported by independent research conducted by Imperial College London, offer effective tools and techniques across the climate movement, transforming concern into courage.

Building cultures of care

Young people aren’t the only ones struggling with climate anxiety. Adults feel it too, they must might not have the language to describe it.  

We work with professionals and NGOs to understand the climate anxiety and drive meaningful change.  

Grounded in climate psychology, our workshops provide practical techniques that help teams to strengthen connection and activate resilience.  

All of our workshops are led by young climate leaders who have been through our programmes. All of our facilitators have real life experience transforming climate anxiety and burnout into sustainable action.

Transforming how we ‘do’ activism

At The Resilience Project, everything we do is rooted in our Climate Activation model; a community-led, peer-support learning journey developed by international changemakers and psychologists.

Climate Activation recognises that creating long-term, meaningful impact requires more than just policy change. We must also look inward.

That’s why Climate Activation is about supporting our inner worlds (our emotions, beliefs, behaviours and values), nurturing real community, while growing stronger together as a collective.

By addressing climate-related mental health issues (like anxiety, overwhelm, and loneliness) our model offers a radical, human-centred approach to climate action. Helping people stay connected, resilient, and in it for the long haul.

Our Story

We exist to help changemakers navigate climate anxiety and burnout, so they can keep showing up for the planet.
