what are the Crews?
Crews are a global network of change-makers and thought-leaders who act locally to transform and protect their communities from climate and environmental degradation while influencing the direction of the worldwide climate movement.
As the heart and main program at Earth Guardians (EG), Crews can participate in & access EG’s programs, resources, global community, coalitions/partnerships, & receive direct mentorship from our team.
They are the heart of EG because natural, sustainable, and organic change doesn't come from the top down — it comes from widespread cultural shifts inspired by dedicated individuals leading the way.
Crews have the agency to forward their own projects and initiatives in response to the climate issues affecting their communities.

We are excited to have you join our global network of youth leaders and change makers.
