Earth Guardians

Earth Guardians is a global climate-justice nonprofit training people under 30 to lead catalytic climate solutions in their communities and for the planet. Around the world, young people are turning fear into focus and concern into concrete action. Earth Guardians is where that leadership starts and grows. We mentor and connect young leaders, resource their projects, and amplify their voices so they can protect land, water, culture, and future generations. Today, we support 120 youth-led Crews across 42 countries, serving 1,200+ young leaders each year. Together they restore ecosystems, protect water, regenerate food systems, and strengthen community wellbeing. In 2025 alone, Crews planted 79,900 trees, removed kg of trash from rivers, beaches, wetlands, and communities, led 63 funded environmental projects in 31 countries, and reached more than community members. Our majority BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ Speakers Bureau brings climate justice, storytelling, and leadership tools to classrooms, conferences, and legislatures, while thousands more access free Earth Guardians trainings on biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, climate policy, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Behind every number is a young person learning that their voice, culture, and land matter and that their leadership can transform lives. Ways to get involved: 1) Donate to fuel youth-led climate solutions. 2) Start, join, or help a young person start an Earth Guardians Crew. 3) Book an Earth Guardians speaker or training for your school, company, or event.
