Event & Outreach Coordinator

Hi everyone! I’m Ilakiza Jackson, an environmental advocate, youth leader, and founder of THINK GREEN Environmental Club, a youth-led initiative focused on environmental education and empowering young people to take action for our planet. My journey in climate action has taken me through environmental education, community outreach, youth leadership, climate workshops, and sustainability initiatives. I’m passionate about creating spaces where young people can learn, share ideas, and turn their passion for the environment into meaningful action. I’m currently studying Applied Climate Change & Adaptation at UPEI, where I’m continuing to build my knowledge and skills in climate action and sustainability. I’m thrilled to join the Climate Action Club as the Event & Outreach Coordinator, where I’ll be connecting people, creating engaging events, and helping turn great ideas into impactful action.
