Last Friday, the Broward County Resilience Unit and the Cortada Foundation presented to more than 150 students at West Broward High School for the Underwater: Broward project!

We talked about how future conditions in South Florida are changing, what sea level rise means for our communities, and how students can get involved in practical solutions to address flooding and extreme heat. The school also received an elevation mural showing their campus sits just 5 feet above sea level, a powerful reminder of why engagement and local action matters.

These conversations with youth are always thoughtful and an encouraging reminder that the future leaders of our community are ready to create a better world today.

A big thank you to the West Broward Student Government Association for hosting and all their assistance during the event!
