Powering Up Youth Groups & Sustainability Initiatives
OTTAWA, ON, Mar. 19, 2004 (Sierra Youth Coalition) - Welcome to the place where youth who are making it happen in the environmental and sustainability scene are coming together to network, learn about each other, contribute their bits and share their stories! Here you can sign up as a member of the Youth Environmental Network to promote your group and have access to resources, links, discussion forums, events and news listings. Once you've signed up your group, you can post your campus success stories that you’ve been working on, and view them in April at the Sierra Youth Coalition's website so that others can learn from your accomplishments and you can trade ideas. Here is a powerful tool for youth created by the Youth Environmental Network, the Sierra Youth Coalition and ENvironnement JEUnesse! http://syc-cjs.org/info/.
