Ecoclubes

Ecoclubes provides a space for training and organization for children and young people start on the path of social transformation, can be formed as youth leaders and be involved in the socio-environmental problems in their communities, promoting planned actions to solve them. Citizen participation and the impact on public policies are also objectives that we pursue as an organization to be partakers of the decision-making at local, provincial and / or national level that directly affect the quality of life of the population.

Taking into account the local reality, each Ecoclub makes a health and environmental diagnosis ccordin to it, they plan their activities. Through the years of growth of the organization and work in the same subjects, Ecoclubes has designed a series of national programs, agreeing a common methodology for all groups.

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.

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 in all parts of the country, 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.
