The last few months have been a whirlwind. With all the actions, board meetings, and victorious press conferences (!), it’s been hard to plan for summer. But here we are, sweating in our office to newly-steamy May temperatures and preparing for the onslaught of summer opportunities. Here are just a few ways to stay engaged in the climate fight and build your skills this season:

**1. Get trained!**

- 350.org is holding monthly [Wednesday Web Workshops ](https://gofossilfree.org/webworkshops/)all summer (and for the rest of 2014) on everything from starting new divestment campaigns to our organization’s theory of change for divestment.
- Responsible Endowments Coalition is hosting a [ Summer Organizing Retreat](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?usp=drive_web&formkey=dHYyZVRCV3daLTF1UC1PbEpvWHp2Y3c6MA#gid=22) in New Jersey July 28-August 2, for students to come together and discuss endowments, corporate power, and strategies for winning**.**
- This June 14-22 is the [10th annual Mountain Justice Summer camp](https://mountainjustice.org). Devoted to training a broad resistance to mountaintop removal coal mining, this summer’s camp will feature 9 days of workshops, trainings, music, and films.

**2. Connect with other climate organizers!**

- The Divestment Student Network is continuing to hold [bi-weekly assembly calls](https://studentsdivest.org/network-structure/) for student organizers to connect and plan on the first and third tuesday of every month.
- Look for and share summer organizing opportunities on the students-divest listserv – [you can join the listserv here. ](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/students-divest)
- Connect with your local 350.org group. [You can find them with our handy map tool.](https://350.org/map/)

**3. Take action!**

There are more actions and convergences happening this summer than we can list here, but here are a couple of opportunities that we are particularly excited about:

- [Student actions in July and August taking on Cambridge Associates](https://docs.google.com/a/350.org/document/d/1m9uLIlVxyGiDBY6pT7mnR2qPcPUX1yVJ7jQFb9Xvb2A/edit?pli=1), an investment consultancy firm that has been a barrier to divestment at many colleges.
- In mid-July, [organizers battling the first US Tar Sands extraction site are hosting a camp](https://www.summerforclimatejustice.org/about-summer-for-climate-justice/) for students and other young people to learn more about organizing, relationship building, direct action, and the cultivation of a climate justice analysis.
