School Strike 4 Climate Albury-Wodonga will host the hour-long event with Albury deputy mayor Amanda Cohn and Indi MP Helen Haines from 1pm on Facebook and YouTube.
Teenage organiser Eli Davern, 16, said 2020 has presented "multiple and overlapping crises".
"We just lived through the worst bushfire season in our history and now the world is in the grips of a deadly pandemic," he said.
"They (Cr Cohn and Dr Haines) will answer our questions and bring perspective from two very different areas of politics. We have worked really hard to make this possible and we'd love to see our community participate."
"School strikers are inviting everyone to join us online and together we will collectively create a vision for the future - a list of the things we must stop and the things we must get started on to set us in the right direction."
Activist Natasha Kronenberg, 17, said now, more than ever, it is essential to stay informed.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"Our Q&A is an excellent opportunity for the citizens of Albury-Wodonga to ask our representatives the hard questions about the fires and COVID-19," she said.
"Coming together, even if it's virtual, is imperative to the rebuilding of our community."
