New Roads School Presents: 
Climate Changemaker Teen Film Festival 2026
New Roads School's annual Climate Changemaker Teen Film Festival airs online Monday, April 13, at 5 PM PDT. We've received over 200 submissions worldwide from middle and high school students who have created short films that explore climate change-related topics or call-to-action films that inspire viewers to take action.  The Festival will showcase the incredible talent, passion, and advocacy of young filmmakers tackling the most critical issue their generation will face. 

If you're unable to join us on Monday, the program will stay online for anyone to access. Earth Week runs from April 19-25, celebrating Earth Day on April 22. Teachers, we invite you to incorporate our program into your Earth Week or Earth Day activities with your students!
