We have since grown into a national youth environmental coalition with members in all regions of Canada, and local groups operating out of schools, universities and communities across the country.
The Sierra Youth Coalition is a dynamic source of inspiration, resources and community for youth in Canada. Our core membership includes over three hundred youth and our network spans thousands of Canadians.
