2022 Impact Report
We continue to strive at being on the front lines of climate, environmental, and social justice solutions. We are still committed to being a BIPOC-centered and gender-inclusive organization and our 2022 work reflects that. In 2022 we were able to award $30,000+ in project grants, implement global actions, and so much more!

During a full year of groundbreaking leadership evolution and transformation at Earth Guardians, we expanded and built out our climate justice programming, centered BIPOC and gender-inclusive fem leadership, sent a youth delegation to COP26, and expanded our international youth programming on the ground.
2020 Impact Report
This year looked different for our crew members, Regional Directors, Youth Council members, and staff, but that didn't stop us from accomplishing great things. We demonstrated our collective resilience and creative solutions in the presence of global pandemic.
2019 Impact Report
Dramatic growth in the number and geographic reach of our on-the-ground youth crews, as well as major steps forward in Earth Guardians' educational impacts, social media engagements, and youth leadership initiatives, were the hallmarks of our efforts.
Rev the Vote
Revolutionize the Vote consisted of a coalition of partners including Earth Guardians, International Indigenous Youth Council (IIYC), Seeding Sovereignty, Seventh Generation Inc., March On, and Hip Hop Caucus. This campaign used many tactics to reach youth, specifically BIPOC youth, to encourage voting in the 2020 election.
2020 Lawsuits & Civic Engagement
Earth Guardians is proud to lead mobilizations around the climate-focused legal actions led and supported by our partner organization, Our Children's Trust. With guidance from the OCT legal team, we mobilize our global community to take action and stand in solidarity with youth plaintiffs across the country and the world.
