Our mission statement is simple: Influence YOUR environment!
While guided by environmentalist practices, our scope covers broader issues that impact both Milwaukee and the other communities students are from. This includes wildlife and plant protections, access to healthy food, safe water, clean air, safe streets, and the local politics that affect these. Our emphasis is on helping make activism of all sorts feel accessible and meaningful through conversations with other students, presentations by professors and organization representatives, participating in community-oriented volunteering events/programs, hosting our own events for students, as well as sharing resources and information. Feel free to drop in to any of our meetings or reach out about events we have planned!
