Our mission is to communicate urgent climate science and core principles of ecology to Utah's young people, and connect them with local organizations who are working to create ecological and social sustainability in their own backyard.

A wave of eco-literate young people reshaping the cultural and physical landscape of Utah, and the planet, for the better.
