Mobilizing Young People to Advance Appropriate Scientific Approaches to Sustainable Development
Citizen
Science, the science and technology program of SustainUS, is committed to raising awareness in the
United States
of existing and emerging technologies designed to improve economic, social,
and environmental conditions for current and future generations. Citizen
Science attempts to bring together the many areas of science for a widely
diverse, complex, and exciting arena to support the science behind the policy of Sustainable
Development.
Goals
Citizen Science aims to provide a platform for young people to engage in and share scientific knowledge as it relates to sustainable development. In particular, we aim to inform the sustainable development policy debate, both inside and outside the SustainUS membership, with accurate and accessible science.

Other opportunities:
In order to promote SustainUS's goal of increasing the youth voice in
sustainable development, Citizen Science encourages the attendance of
youth to scientific and ecopolicy conferences in the US. SustainUS
members are encouraged to attend conferences in their region, and upon
SustainUS' approval, can serve as representatives of the organization.
