About Sustainability Ambassadors
Sustainability Ambassadors is a nonprofit organization with the mission to “rapidly advance a sustainable future.” We educate for sustainability (not just about it) by supporting secondary teachers in increasing student agency by aligning academic standards with city-climate action planning, water resource stewardship, and equity outcomes.
What We Do
We facilitate a year-round Youth Leadership Development Program training over 50 students in nine different cities to lead by example. Students in our Leadership Program become skilled project managers, peer influencers, and community building experts through application of the IP3 Strategy which includes:
1. Impact Project Design
2. Impact Data Tracking
3. Impact Storytelling and Stakeholder Engagement
We serve as “Ambassadors” across generations, jurisdictions, and sectors creating the conditions for a sustainable future, faster, and having a lot of fun getting there.
Sustainability Ambassadors is a learning organization. We are committed to organizational practices that decentralize decision making, adapt programs and actions to support localized needs, learn rapidly as a broad coalition of empowered change makers including youth, and practice collective impact by measuring program efficacy in context of improved community conditions. We are building a City/Classroom Climate Action Coalition to drive collective impact around the relationship between classroom learning and community needs that can solve the climate crisis. This is the work of our century. Young people know this.
