In Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Children’s Environmental Health Day – October 9, 2025
October 9, 2025 marks a decade of cross-sector work toward safer, healthier environments for children through Children’s Environmental Health Day (CEH Day). To celebrate and galvanize the movement, CEHN is hosting a nationwide campaign to build grassroots advocacy capacity, center community and youth stories, and uplift a unified, hopeful movement in the face of protective policy rollbacks, cuts to critical programs and workforce, and growing public health threats.
Join CEHN and partners for a virtual advocacy training session this summer!
These free 75-minute trainings are designed to help advocates across all sectors—public health, early childhood, education, environmental justice, caregiving, and youth—build power, tell our stories, and take meaningful action together. The same content will be offered at multiple sessions and all attendees will receive a certificate of completion.

After the session, participants will receive hands-on support to request local and state proclamations, craft their own advocacy story, deliver it to press and decision-makers effectively, and navigate the logistics of advocacy.
Once participants complete a Child Health Champion Training, they will be awarded a certificate of completion. Additionally, they are eligible to receive customized resources and hands on, individual assistance with requesting Children’s Environmental Health Day proclamations, setting up visits with elected officials, crafting their story, and even pitching it to relevant media.
On Children’s Environmental Health Day, we’re asking all of our Child Health Champions to sign a pledge to meet with at least one decisionmaker to advocate for children’s environmental health, whether that’s local, state, or federal lawmakers, or others whose decisions impact children’s health.
CEHN will continue to host regular “Office Hours” throughout 2025 to support Child Health Champions as they advocate for healthy environments for all kids.
