Mission Statement

Founded in 2001, SustainUS is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of young people advancing sustainable development and youth empowerment in the United States. Through proactive education and advocacy at the policy-making level and at the grassroots, we are building a future in which all people recognize the inherent equality and interdependence of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. We strive to reflect to our values through the diversity of members and projects, our ongoing commitment to educating ourselves and others, and the way we live our lives.

Organization

Membership is on an individual basis, not on the basis of university student groups. Three levels of membership exist: Associate Members, Voting Members, and Steering Committee Members. The Steering Committee makes everyday decisions and leads the group, while major decisions are taken to Voting Members or certain sub-committees, as appropriate. Members are also grouped by age: high school, college, and young professional. Members range in age from 12 to 30.



Founded

May 2001 at the International Youth Summit in Borgholm, Sweden, in order to prepare U.S. youth for the World Summit on Sustainable Development
