FROM COAST TO COAST
We are a Canadian federally registered non-profit that provides a common platform for high school and university students to lead and engage with environmental and energy sustainability.
United by a common vision for sustainability and the values of identity and involvement, each region of SYC hosts its own youth-led initiatives, while simultaneously engaging with local partner organizations to quickly connect our diverse members with personalized sustainability-focused opportunities.
"Working with SYC has truly been a transformative experience. Alongside the enriching opportunities and consultations that I have taken part in, the team (both nationally and regionally) provides insightful guidance and support!"
