Who is membership for?

  1. (inter)national student- or youth-led or focused organizations, empowering students and young people to lead on sustainability and environmental justice to address the climate emergency
  2. local student organizations with high impact solutions (campaigns, change models, programs, projects) that are ready to be scaled internationally

Our focus is mainly on tertiary / higher education, but we are also open to national organizations focusing on secondary education. SOS International was founded from the students’ union movement and we are particularly keen to ensure our membership includes a good representation of national student unions.

Please note: we are not accepting individual persons as members, only organizations and their representatives. To follow our work as an individual, sign up to our emails.
