Join Us!

Since 1996, the Sierra Youth branch of Sierra Club Canada has had a mission to empower young people to become active community leaders.

About Sierra Youth

Sierra Youth is always ready to welcome new members and volunteers! It’s clear that Canada and the world have reached a tipping point and that it’s more important than ever to take action to protect the Earth and the special places we and other creatures call home.

At Sierra Club Canada, we know that one person can make a difference in the world, starting with our friends, families and communities. Together we are even stronger. The sooner we can mobilize and impact the conversation at the local, regional and national levels, the better our chances. You can help us do this; in return, we will echo your concerns!

What your Sierra Youth Canada membership supports—and gives you in return:

  • A direct role in sustaining youth-led environmental initiatives across Canada.
  • Priority access to campaign updates, member-only events, and strategy sessions.
  • Recognition as a supporter of environmental justice and youth empowerment.
  • Exclusive member communications, behind-the-scenes insights, and impact reports.
  • The opportunity to shape the future of Sierra Youth through member surveys and feedback.
  • The knowledge that your contribution helps amplify youth voices in climate action.
