ABSTRACT: Despite being on the front lines of climate catastrophe, the voices and actions of critically affected groups are often overlooked. The present research partnered with Haitian youth - who are marginalized from climate decision-making on the basis of nationality and age - to explore and address sustainability challenges in their coastal community. This study explored processes of individual and collective empowerment made possible through a community-based arts center course that integrated the arts and sciences to position youth as change agents for a more sustainable Haiti.
