This , we celebrate what happens when young people are given the tools, trust, and space to lead...meet the DOT Climate Ambassadors! 🌱

These passionate young leaders from Lebanon, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Kenya are Alumni taking their impact to the next level. As Ambassadors, they are stepping up as coaches and mentors, using their experience to empower incoming cohorts of Climate Champions and virtual climate learners to design and implement bold, community-driven climate solutions.

Climate action grows stronger when knowledge is passed forward. The world needs more young leaders who are informed, equipped, and ready to act.

On this , we recognize the urgency of protecting our planet and the power of youth-led collective action.

At DOT, climate action is embedded in how we equip young people with digital skills, leadership opportunities, and the confidence to create solutions in their own communities. Through the Program, young leaders across Africa and the Middle East are taking action on the ground by tree planting, community clean ups, and hosting local climate events, while mobilizing thousands of community members to engage in more sustainable practices.

Today, we celebrate their impact and reaffirm our commitment to enabling the next generation of climate leaders.

Have you been part of this journey? If you have worked with DOT on a climate activity — as a virtual learner, Street Team member, Alumni, or as — leave a comment and share more about your work. We'd love to hear from you! 💚

This week, the DOT team based in Ottawa, Canada, took some time to connect over lunch! 🍽️

In the middle of busy schedules and meetings, it’s important to pause, disconnect for a moment, share a few laughs, and spend time together as a team. These moments of connection strengthen the relationships behind the work and remind us that collaboration starts with community 💙

UNICEF Youth Centers, implemented in partnership with DOT Jordan, hosted a one-day “Building Career Pathways” workshop.
