Power Shift Network was a national community of organizations who worked with young leaders to fight for climate justice. Our members worked on diverse issues and campaigns—from fighting toxic tar sands pipelines to building locally-owned renewable energy projects to supporting young people of color to run for office—and they ranged from small student groups to big national nonprofits and everything in between.
Member organizations gained access to a variety of resources to help organize more powerfully and effectively, like small financial grants, coaching and training support, and the ability to make connections with organizers across the country.
