Students have the power to shape the future we will inherit. We work with professional staff at colleges and universities to make sure our peers have the skills, opportunities, and training they need to create a better, more sustainable future for all of us. Our chapters provide the training, professional support, and resources students need to tackle climate change, protect public health, revitalize our democracy, feed the hungry, and more. Students have been at the forefront of social change throughout history, from fighting for civil and voting rights to protecting the environment. For over 40 years we’ve helped students to get organized, mobilized, and energized so they can continue to be on the cutting edge of positive change.
