Sustainable Youth Canada (SYC) is a youth-led nonprofit with chapters across Canada, providing a platform for young people to lead and engage in environmental initiatives. We act as a gateway into environmental organizing by offering a national network of committed peers, essential tools for tackling local environmental issues, and mentorship throughout the process. SYC drives various youth-led, grassroots, local initiatives, such as citizen-science projects, awareness campaigns, and volunteer opportunities, while also empowering youth to advocate for systemic changes through participation in public consultations and conferences. Our mission is to engage, educate, and empower youth to become effective environmental leaders on both local and national levels.

Each region hosts youth-led initiatives while collaborating with organizations like IBM, the Ministry of Education, and the David Suzuki Foundation.
