Team New York City serves informal educators, in New York City and surrounding metro area.

This team will attend the Earth to Sky Academy in November 2024. Earth to Sky regional teams go through a competitive selection process and are invited to travel to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center for a week of training in NASA climate science, communication techniques, and Earth to Sky methodology. After completing the Academy, each team offers one or more climate communication courses in their region, while serving as a resource and focal point for their community of informal educators on an ongoing basis.
