Membership categories
- Chapter Institutions: higher education institutions with existing or aspiring action-oriented sustainability coalitions reaching across campus and beyond. These structures catalyze transformative learning, innovate in operations, research, engagement and governance via the whole-institution approach to higher education for sustainable development.
- Green Offices: we are proud host the Green Office Movement, a global collective of student-staff structures leading on sustainability strategy and practice within higher eduction institutions. The Green Office model has been replicated in over 100 universities worldwide and holds a UNESCO Japan prize for Education for Sustainable Development.
- Partner organizations: we work with global or global region-specific student organizations or student representation organizations with a focus on sustainabilty and education. Our collaborative network enables shared practice, student leadership and collective advocacy in policy setting spaces.
- Associate members: NGO's and other smaller organizations, often operating within one-country, city or area. Associate members are focussed on systemic change and sustainable development through education and often work with students, schools, colleges and universities to achieve their goals.
Our focus is mainly on tertiary / higher education, but we are also open to membership from organizations or institutions delivering 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 and regional 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.
