They say that our youth is the future. The members of Ecoclubes choose to be the present.
The community youth leaders from Ecoclubes are transforming their communities, with concrete actions in areas such as waste management and sewage treatment, the fight against dengue, proper water usage and urban tree planting, all of which improve the quality of life.
Ecoclubs is an international youth movement that promotes citizen participation. Ecoclubs are democratic civic organizations, composed of children and youth that interact with other community institutions to work towards the improvement in the quality of life of the population. In a joint effort with other institutions, their public awareness campaigns utilize participatory strategies searching for neighbors' involvement in the implementation of proposals that may be evaluated in a practical manner and that are characterized by their support.
When Ecoclubes started in the small town Firmat, in the province of Santa Fe, the founders never imagined where their "small actions" would take them. Today they celebrate 15 years. Ecoclubes is now present in over 30 countries worldwide. Your contribution can also go a long way. With a monthly donation of USD 10 you can contribute to creating young community leaders, you can become a Friend of Ecoclubes. Without the support of Friends it will be difficult to continue to coordinate the network, socialize opportunities, and organize action plans.
