Justin received the annual Community Service Award from his high school student government for the 2013-2014 school year for his work with the Climate Reality Project. His presentations in front of his school's student body have informed hundreds of young minds about the climate crisis and the need to take action. As he continues to give presentations in front of his peers at neighboring high schools and other organizations, Justin continues to increase the number of future voters who will place climate action on the top of their political agendas.
