Volunteer

We often need help with planning and organizing events, zero-waste education and outreach, community building, and communications.

We also list opportunities related to notable campus events on Volunteer50.

We are a staff volunteer organization. Your contributions support our education programs, outreach activities and the grants that we award. Make a one-time or monthly gift through UC San Diego. We appreciate donations of any amount. Thank you.

Start a project

Each year, SSN awards small grants (up to $500) for on-campus sustainability outreach campaigns. The objective is to design an outreach campaign to educate and engage UC San Diego staff in the areas of:

• Energy usage
• Transportation
• Waste reduction
• Water and resource conservation
• Climate protection
• Green buildings
• Food
• Institutional operations
• Community awareness
• Environmentally preferable purchasing
• Other (share your idea with us!)
  

More information will be shared on this website, in our e-newsletter, and through social media when applications are open.
