The SHS Project empowers youth to envision sustainable communities, assess their school's sustainability, design and implement school projects. We provide training, tools, resources and opportunities for youth to connect and work towards Climate Change solutions.

Students will generate greater social equity, ecological integrity and economic accountability through classroom projects, policy creation, and infrastructure upgrades. All this while meeting other passionate individuals who are working to create a better world.

The SHS Project is offered in partnership with the Sierra Youth Coalition, the youth branch of the Sierra Club. Sustainable High Schools is adapted from SYC's successful Sustainable Campuses Project. Both are youth-driven initiatives created to support school communities in envisioning, assessing and improving their level of ecological and social well-being.

There are many different ways you can become involved with our program, including:

1. Book an in-class presentation at your school.
2. Become a member of our Youth Steering Committee.
3. Sign up for one of our environmental and social justice leadership training events and/or workshops.  
4. Assess the environmental and social sustainability of your school using our SHS Kit or other resources.
5. Learn about what a sustainable high school is and read about what other schools have done.
