Young people from around Ohio and neighboring states will gather in Columbus September 12-14 for the second annual Ohio Area Student Environmental Summit (OASES2).
At OASES2, we will build the knowledge, connections, and power we need to create a clean, safe, and just future for all. The agenda includes skills like recruitment and media, networking, a sweet Good Green Jobs rally downtown, and campaign planning (including the popular Power Vote campaign).
