Let's get started in our new initiative by gathering together friends who share our common passion. We can get to know each other online and come up with regional and global initiatives that can increase awareness of the various elements of organizational sustai By teaming with each other, we can leverage all of our individual talents and have a huge impact! Please sign up for a discounted student membership. Once you are a student member, you'll show up on the youth email list and will receive communications from our Director of Youth Engagement who will ask about your interests and talents to see how you can best contribute to the group. We look forward to working with you! To get a sense of what sustainability initiatives young people are undertaking around the world, we are looking for youth ambassadors to report on what is already underway in their communities so we can share ideas and best practices. By learning from each other, we can find ways of improving the sustainability practices in our local communities. To participate, please send a short email to the ISC Youth Engagement Director, with a brief email report. They will post some of the ideas online and may follow up with you via email or social media to get pictures or more details. The UNDESA World Social Report 2020 is out and is focused on the theme of inequality. See the video below for a few key statistics from the report.Youth Reporting
