USF Climate Teach-In
What is the Climate Teach-In?
A “teach-in” is an informal, educational event that discusses a specific issue or cause, organized to raise awareness or prompt action on social, political, or environmental topics. Unlike traditional lectures, teach-ins are interactive and community-oriented, encouraging open discussion and participation from attendees.
The 5th Annual USF Climate Teach-In was a week-long series of events held from March 23-30, 2026 meant to inspire and involve students in a conversation about climate solutions. The Climate Teach-In at USF is part of the Worldwide Climate Justice Education Week, a global initiative from the graduate program in sustainability at Bard College in New York.
How it Works
The USF Climate Teach-In is organized by the Climate Teach-In student organization in collaboration with student groups, faculty, and community partners across all three USF campuses. Designed and led by students, the student organization provides a platform for passionate peers to come together and drive meaningful social change.
While 2027 Climate Teach-In dates are to be determined, the Climate Teach-In Executive Board has been working hard to make the event bigger and better than ever. We can’t wait for you to be part of USF’s largest environmental event!

Climate education and action are crucial because climate change affects every part of our lives — from health and food security to natural disasters and economic stability.
Florida is particularly vulnerable, which makes it even more important to work together and protect our community.
