Dear Jamil,

this is how you can join our youth network as an individual:

1) Read and endorse the Earth Charter

2) At the very end of the endorsement form, remember to check the box “Add me to the youth network to receive updates on youth activities” in order to be included in our Earth Chartet youth network. This will add you to our network’s E-mail List.

You are also welcome to start an Earth Charter Youth / Student Group in your home community. For that, read more from the Earth Charter youth page:
http://www.earthchart erinaction.org/content/ca tegories/Youth/ .

You are very welcome to join our efforts in working for more sustainable future!

Dear Ivan,

The most efficient and common way for youth to ally with the Earth Charter is to create an Earth Charter Youth Group (ECYG). This is a group of youth studying Earth Charter, getting inspired by it and then organizing small action projects in their local communities on sustainability. You are more than welcome to start actions in Uganda!

Check out Ugandan Country Activities (link in the upper left corner) and also the link in the left "How you can participate" http://www.earthcharterin action.org/content/pages/ How%20you%20can%20partici pate.html .

You are more than welcome to join our network for more sustainable future,

Dear Elaine,

thank you for your message!

There are plenty of different types of things you can do! Check out the option from the left bar, through the link 'Volunteer' and 'How you can participate'.

I will send you a personal message through email on Earth Charter Youth Groups. For the others, the same information can be found through the Earth Charter youth page (you'll find it through FOCUS GROUPS, in the upper bar).
