Organisation aims / mission / values

  • Vision - Our vision is of a society full of empowered young people bravely leading real action on climate change.
  • Mission - We support young people from all backgrounds to understand more about climate change and its impact on the planet, to take real environmental action and to make positive life choices utilising the tools we provide.
  • Values - We are led by young people who are determined to own the positive sustainable future of the planet. Young people are at the heart and soul of everything we do. We: Are focused on the things that matter to young people; Take ownership for our own environmental impact; Have the power to speak out & be heard; Recognise all young people can make a difference, regardless of background; Value adult contribution and support in achieving our goals; Want fun to be an inherent part of all that we do!.
  • Calling all teen Londoners! Are you interested in the environment or fast fashion?!. Get involved with hands-on Eco Action by becoming a volunteer for SwopItUp, and lead other teens on action!.
  • Are you a young Londoner wanting to empower teens to bravely lead real action on climate change? Develop new skills or bring existing ones: mentor, lead or support teens to take real action. As a organisation led by youth, we especially welcome volunteers aged 30 and under to support our teens.
  • Even though we're an organisation by young people and for young people, we really welcome all adult contributions, and recognise the the tremendous life or professional value that more experienced volunteers can offer. Please get in touch about any of our adult roles if you think you can help.
