Meet Our Crews

Crews are youth-led, intergenerational groups of impassioned leaders taking action for a healthy, just, & sustainable future. They are the heart of EG because natural, sustainable, & organic change doesn't come from the top-down; rather, it comes from widespread cultural shifts inspired by dedicated individuals leading the way.

Crews have the agency to forward their own projects or initiatives in response to the climate issues affecting their communities.

What are 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.
