Students Organizing for Sustainability International

Details: Category: Student Organization

SOS International supports student and youth groups globally to lead on sustainability and social justice. We connect, strengthen and scale impactful initiatives – so together we can go further, faster. SOS-International is an international membership organisation hosted on rotation by its members. The current host to SOS-International is SOS-UK, who founded SOS-International alongside DSF – the largest organisation for students in higher education in Denmark and the NUS-USI – the National Union of Students representing all university and college students in Northern Ireland.

We convene (inter)national student-led and student-focussed organisations, working on sustainability and social justice, to:

support more and better action among education institutions and student organisations
scale programs and campaigns to have wider reach and greater impact
strengthen capacity of member organisations to empower student leadership
amplify the voice of students worldwide to influence systemic change.

We run multiple sustainability programs, projects and campaigns, together with the SOS members. Building on over a decade of experience, this portfolio is designed to be easily adapted in new organizations and countries. Read more about our portfolio.
We do research on students and sustainability (see our survey), that can leverage action to transform education and direct society to a more sustainable and fair future.
We strengthen collaboration and capacity among our members, and mobilize funding together. Find out more on our membership page.
We offer workshops, event facilitation and consultancy to all organizations interested in sustainability and/or working with students and youth.
