Focus the Nation is a national non-profit headquartered in Portland, Oregon. It was founded in 1999 by professor and economist, Eban Goodstein. We believe in the science of climate change and the opportunity it presents to rebuild American communities and US leadership at the local and international level.
We are driven by a fierce commitment to empower young people with the leadership, educational and civic engagement opportunities that will accelerate our transformation to a more just and prosperous clean energy future.
Through our Civic Engagement program area, we have executed three national campaigns on climate change and clean energy that have supported young leaders in sustained engagement with local, regional and federal elected and business leaders—building bridges between generations, campuses and communities and areas of the country that find themselves at different points (and velocities) along the trajectory toward the clean energy future.
Our Focus Roots Fellowships are a competitive, annual series of $10,000 grants awarded to the most innovative and creative young climate leaders. These fellowships invest in the early careers of promising young leaders needing financial and operational support to execute vibrant solutions to our pollution-based economy.

Hey,
So if you want to promote our event but need a little more information to pass out, this flyer would definitely have you covered. Dont be afrid to print and post this around school, your work, local coffee shop, food center, retirement home, or local playground (not in a creepy way though). Happy posting!
Hey Folks,
