Join the SSC!

The Sierra Student Coalition is a broad network of high school and college youth from around the country working to protect the environment. We have over 250 affiliated groups based at schools around the country. The SSC is the student arm of the Sierra Club, the nation's largest and oldest grassroots environmental organization (founded in 1892!). Like the Sierra Club, the SSC is run by volunteers between the ages of 14 and 30 who work on national and local campaigns that promote smart energy solutions and protect the environment. We develop environmental leaders through our award winning grassroots trainings programs and work to maximize our campus-based effectiveness through the creation and maintenance of state and national networks of high school and college-aged youth.
