This conversation brings together Marlow Baines\, Youth Director for Earth Guardians\, and Richard Carlbom\, co-founder and partner of United Strategies\, to share their successes and challenges\, and discuss what it takes to sustain meaningful change. \nUnder Marlow’s direction\, Earth Guardians — an NGO working to empower youth leaders at the intersection of environmental and climate justice — was able to dismantle and rebuild its infrastructure to solidify youth-centered leadership. Through Marlow’s efforts to elevate the voices of her peers and after a long\, coordinated effort of the Earth Guardians Youth Council to engage in anti-racism work\, the organization took a giant leap forward in 2021\, evolving from a U.S. based nonprofit organization to a truly global NGO. As Youth Director\, Marlow helped implement the vision of the Earth Guardians Youth Council and redefine the role of youth leadership within the organization. She currently leads the Choose Action Now campaign\, empowering youth leaders ages 15-30 to take action in their local communities. \nRichard served as the Campaign Manager of Minnesotans United for All Families\, the official ‘Vote No’ campaign that helped Minnesota become the first state in the nation to defeat a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The $13 million effort proved to be the largest grassroots campaign in Minnesota history. After successfully securing the Freedom to Marry in Minnesota\, Richard served as the Director of State Campaigns for the national Freedom to Marry campaign. Overseeing a 34 state public engagement and education strategy\, Richard traveled to 28 states to provide support to local leaders trying to secure marriage equality. Richard brought his first-hand knowledge of research and strategy to the table\, paired with his work to help pioneer long-form conversation-based campaigns that changed the hearts and minds of individuals when it came to their support for marriage equality. \nThis inspiring discussion will be followed by audience Q&A. \nOur Fall Inside-Out Leadership series hosts conversations between people with similar experiences working to address similar problems\, but in different spaces or with different approaches. Our aim is to make these conversations interdisciplinary\, intergenerational and perhaps a bit unexpected\, connecting leaders who might not otherwise be connected to share their points of view and demonstrate commonalities.

With today’s youth facing a growing mental health crisis\, this conversation will focus on how nature-based activities and therapies can support children and young people’s well-being and help them recover from trauma. We will hear from Dr. Hanaa Hamdi and Kimiko Russell-Halterman who are both working in different spaces connected to this topic. \nDr. Hamdi has more than two decades of experience in public health administration\, research and community development practice. She is committed to advancing health equity across underserved populations through comprehensive and holistic approaches —including integrating nature everywhere people live\, learn\, pray and play. Dr. Hamdi serves on the Children & Nature Network board of directors. \nKimiko Russell-Halterman is the Environmental Educator for Brown Girl Surf\, who works to build a more diverse\, environmentally reverent\, and joyful women’s\, girl’s\, and gender expansive surf culture by increasing access to surfing\, cultivating community\, amplifying the voices of surfers of color\, and taking care of the earth. She is also currently pursuing graduate studies focusing on equity and justice in environmental & outdoor education. Kimiko attended UCSB\, where she studied Environmental Science and Education\, fell in love with teaching\, learned to surf and spent as much time as possible playing in the sea. \nThis inspiring discussion will be followed by audience Q&A. \nOur Fall Inside-Out Leadership series hosts conversations between people with similar experiences working to address similar problems\, but in different spaces or with different approaches. Our aim is to make these conversations interdisciplinary\, intergenerational and perhaps a bit unexpected\, connecting leaders who might not otherwise be connected to share their points of view and demonstrate commonalities.

What are examples of success from around the world and what are the barriers to creating green school grounds at scale? \nWith this in mind\, the Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning project seeks to engage with global leaders and practitioners to build networks of like-minded organizations and individuals to identify scalable strategies and deepen our understanding of how to support the worldwide movement of schoolyard greening. This project will collect information about school greening projects around the world with a strong focus on programs that practice inclusive planning and prioritize equitable access to nature while advancing environmental sustainability. With a growing number of international leaders in the children and nature field\, we believe that documenting the field\, sharing experiences\, research and best practices can help galvanize the green schoolyard movement and support our partners to make a broader case successfully. \nOn September 14th\, we’ll share from our first global case study\, Peru. Hear from Joaquin Leguia and our Global Team as they share experiences and lessons learned during their on site visit. Joaquín Leguía is founder of ANIA\, a Peru-based NGO working to promote active empathy for life and sustainable development through innovative initiatives that connect children to nature and empower them as agents of change. A key initiative of ANIA is to develop and support Tierra de Niños (TiNi)\, or Children’s Lands. TiNis are child-led\, nature-filled spaces where children learn to nurture life and biodiversity\, find restoration\, and enhance well-being for themselves and the natural world. Often found on school grounds\, TiNis can also be implemented at home and in communities\, in urban and rural areas\, and in various ecosystems. \nThis event is part of Children & Nature’s Inside-Out Leadership Series which serves to educate\, connect\, and inspire people at every stage of their career.
