Summary
Jerome Foster II is an accomplished environmental advocate, civic tech founder, and software-capable organizer who has spent nine years building youth-led movements and policy influence at local and federal levels. He founded Waic Up and OneMillionOfUs to marry art, civic engagement, and voter empowerment, led weekly climate strikes outside the White House for 80 weeks, and became the youngest advisor on the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council. Jerome combines public-facing storytelling—featured on TIME, Hulu, BBC and in British Vogue—with technical fluency in JavaScript, HTML, CSS and C#, bringing digital tools to climate communication and immersive projects like National Geographic VR work. A repeat advisor and ambassador for institutions from the UN and World Economic Forum to American Forests and the American Lung Association, he navigates policy, media, and grassroots organizing with rare access across those spheres. Notably, his role is recognized academically (included in Cambridge curricula) and he translated early congressional experience with John Lewis into sustained climate leadership that blends art, tech and policy.
