Six youth writers who received the Wrack Lines Voices of Diverse Youth Scholarship shared their reflections and insights about nature and climate change in the Fall-Winter 2024-2025 issue of our biannual magazine.
Three of the students are seniors at the High School in the Community, a charter school in New Haven, and three are students at the Avery Point campus of UConn. They relate experiences from Pakistan to Puerto Rico, Nantucket to Houston to their neighborhoods, as they consider their relationships to the environment and the impacts of the changing climate now and in the future.
