Start a Chapter

What is a RAN chapter?

A RAN chapter is a group of people who get together to support RAN campaigns in any way that makes sense for them and their community.

  • Some chapters work exclusively on RAN campaigns and do outreach at events in their communities;
  • Some chapters work to pass policies to make their schools more climate-friendly;
  • Some chapters work with other groups in addition to RAN;
  • Some chapters focus on fundraisers to support RAN and our programs;
  • Some chapters call themselves RAN, some call themselves RYSE (RAN Youth Sustaining the Earth) and some have a completely different name.

We’re all part of a network of people working together to support environmental and social justice and to protect the earth.
