Earth Guardians is a revolutionary environmental nonprofit that provides youth with the resources and training needed to create anti-racist, anti-colonialist environmental and climate-oriented projects and campaigns that make a real difference locally, nationally, and internationally. Get involved in the movement, connect with your people, and become an Earth Guardian.
Our main program, the heartbeat of our organization, is our Crews. Crews are chapters led by youth aged 13-30 globally. They work locally to address climate and environmental degradation affecting their communities while influencing the global climate movement as a whole.
Being in a Crew means learning how to become an organizer and a leader. At Earth Guardians, we see our organization as an entry-level start or a stepping stone to becoming an effective organizer and leader, starting your activism journey but we also see ourselves as a lifelong community that will be there every stepping stone of the way.
