TREEage is a youth-led climate justice organization in New York State that trains and mobilizes young people to win bold policy change through organizing, grassroots advocacy, and direct action. Their Albany Youth Day of Action is their annual lobby day at the State Capitol, mobilizing 800+ students from across the state to advocate for concrete climate justice wins in the budget and key legislation.

The program takes place in mid-March 2026 and combines scheduled meetings with legislators, a rally, and community moments like art-making, performances, and a breakfast reception with representatives, alongside provided transportation and food for participants. Students will be advocating for climate legislation, the Tax The Rich campaign, and New York for All (immigration legislation).
