Program accomplishments

  • The Crews program empowers youth-led intergenerational volunteer groups globally to advocate for and lead innovative climate justice projects. We provide comprehensive leadership training to support local initiatives contributing significantly to the global climate movement. Our primary goal is to cultivate leaders dedicated and capable of solving environmental issues worldwide. In addition to education training and mentorship we offer Crews non-political campaigns to be involved in and small honorariums on occasion. However we act as a fiscal sponsor or fundraiser for some Crews able to do larger projects discussed in Schedule F. Through nurturing grassroots efforts and offering vital skills and resources we strive to generate a lasting impact on the planet and upcoming generations.
    Expenses $154,604
  • The Indigenous Youth Leadership Initiative IYI empowers Indigenous voices and leadership in environmental justice by annually training a cohort of 20 young Native leaders. It emphasizes skills and traditional knowledge to support Native American youth in climate action and Indigenous sovereignty. The program includes optional onboarding into our Crews program for continuous post-training support.
    Expenses $64,839
  • The Speakers Bureau program places youth voices on local and global stages to share their experiences through workshops keynotes and speaking engagements. It inspires climate action by sharing stories from diverse frontline youth leaders and program trainees. We also promote our Crews program to support audiences inspired to learn more or engage with Earth Guardians.
