The Youth Climate Finance Alliance (YCFA) is a youth-led and youth-centered network of individual organizers and organizations. We serve as a resource, network, and support system for grassroots youth organizations across the so-called US. YCFA facilitates growth through skill development and transformative relationship building which enables local youth leaders to build and wield power against corporate climate villains and end extractive institutions and industries, with a particular emphasis on the financial pipeline to the fossil fuel industry. Our immediate demand is for US-based financial institutions to end the financing and insuring of fossil fuel expansion immediately.

Youth Climate Finance Alliance believes that in order to win a future rooted in climate justice, we must invest in building and scaling up the Youth Climate Movement. Across the country, youth organizers are targeting big banks, insurance companies, asset managers, invested institutions, and more through consistent direct actions that demand the halt of fossil fuel financing. We support their growth, campaign strategy, skill-building, and power through Coaching and Organizer Support.
