IRS990/Desc0The Crews program empowers youth-led intergenerational volunteer groups globally to advocate for and lead innovative climate justice projects. We provide comprehensive leadership training to support local initiatives contributing significantly to the global climate movement. Our primary goal is to cultivate leaders dedicated and capable of solving environmental issues worldwide. In addition to education training and mentorship we offer Crews non-political campaigns to be involved in and small honorariums on occasion. However we act as a fiscal sponsor or fundraiser for some Crews able to do larger projects discussed in Schedule F. Through nurturing grassroots efforts and offering vital skills and resources we strive to generate a lasting impact on the planet and upcoming generations.
