Our education system helped cause the climate and nature crisis, but now we’re making it the solution.
We are fighting to make sure everyone develops a commitment to protecting the earth and puts it to work – whether it’s at school, university or in their careers.
By empowering students and educators to build a better world, we can transform the lives of generations to come. In just a few years we have developed unstoppable student leaders. Behind these leaders every step of the way is the SOS UK community making sure students don’t have to fight for change alone.

We mentor. We advise. We campaign. We empower students to lead. Not just at university but for decades to come, as workers, employers and community members.
