About Us

LAYCAT (Los Altos Youth Climate Action Team) is a Los Altos based youth led nonprofit that focuses on environmental justice and lessening the effects of the climate crisis. We use grassroots organizing to push for policy change and build towards an eco-centered, equitable future. The atmosphere in Los Altos is changing. We are seeing more and more youth stepping up to fight back against dismal climate policies and change. Our newest project, the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan means that we are starting to see more and more steps taken to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. LAYCAT also works alongside Los Altos Greentown on Anti-Idling projects with the local schools. We have seen a lot of success with our campaigns with Anti-Idling. Joining LAYCAT would mean gaining leadership, public speaking, organization and people skills. To join, fill out the form under the ‘get involved’ tab.

2. Anti Idling Members advocated at the city council and various school boards to create an anti-idling campaign.
