Resilient Coastal Communities: Our Coast, Our Future Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Sat, Oct 25    10am

The beaches, bays, and boardwalks of New York and New Jersey are places where we connect with nature and with each other. As sea levels rise, storms intensify, and development threatens displacement, how can we protect these beloved natural places while also ensuring that their communities thrive into the future?

On October 25, join students, youth activists, local leaders, and neighbors across the region for a day of collaboration and imagination.

What we’ll do together:

🌊 Celebrate and Protect Our Shores – Share stories about what the beach and waterfront mean to us, and how we can safeguard them for future generations.

🏘 Build Community Connections – Learn from each other and strengthen networks that link housing, climate resilience, and community wellbeing.

🌍 Explore New Ideas – See urban design scenarios from students at Columbia, NYIT, and Penn that reimagine the future of our coasts, and discuss how we can turn these ideas into action.

🌱 Shape a Shared Future – Reset goals for resilience and recovery, grounded in care for our environment and our communities.

Young people play a crucial role in shaping the future of our coastal communities. Come add your voice, your ideas, and your love of the coast to this important conversation.

Breakfast and lunch (tacos) will be served, and a happy hour will follow. Please send us your RSVP by October 15th.

RSVP by October 15 and join us on October 25.
