The SYC is the youth-run branch of the Sierra Club of Canada that serves as an action centre for youth concerned about the environment. It embraces all the diverse peoples of Canada ages 15 to 25 and students of any age. As a part of the Sierra Club the SYC connects the youngest activists to the oldest, and to the largest organization for environmental protection on our continent. It works on environmental campaigns (locally and nationally), internships, youth skills building and empowerment, conferences, creating a voice for youth in policy making, networking young people, and linking social justice and environment issues. Sierra Youth Coalition is unique as it is Canada's only national youth environmental group.

SYC local groups operate out of schools, universities and communities across Canada. By joining the coalition, groups have access to information on pressing environmental issues. We encourage you to take action on local issues and bring information to the coalition.

Bringing youth together to work towards a healthy planet creates a powerful voice when challenging existing structures, lobbying decision-makers, and educating the general public. Change will only come through the grassroots power of people rising up and creating societal change. So join the SYC to strategize, organize, mobilize and become part of a community. Remember:

IT'S NOW OR NEVER!
