The Environmental Action Committee (EAC) works to promote individual, community, and institutional sustainability through the lens of environmental justice in the Greater Boston and Global Community. 

The EAC runs three committees: the arts, education, and gardening committees. 

Arts: explore visual and literary art as an avenue to increase awareness about the climate crisis and its effects. As a volunteer with the arts committee, you will help to run our semester journal called the Canopy and the exhibition of the journal’s entries. This committee runs in direct partnership with the Harvard Undergrads for Environmental Justice (HUEJ). 

Education: engage students and community members in an environmental curriculum to increase climate knowledge. As a volunteer with the education committee, you will first undergo training to be able to work with young adults and children. Volunteers interested in being further involved can help with developing the curriculum team.

Gardening: perform direct environmental service in the Boston area, which will include trash clean up, tree planting, clothing swaps, etc. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help lead and plan these events in addition to attending them. 

Join the Environmental Action Committee

The Environmental Action Committee meets weekly to plan and discuss upcoming projects and topics of environmental justice. Weekly meetings are held in conjunction with the Harvard Undergrads for Environmental Justice (HUEJ), held at 8:00 PM on Tuesdays in Phillips Brooks House, and are open to anyone interested in the mission of the program. In addition to weekly general meetings, volunteers with the education and gardening committees will visit their service site(s) and attend training sessions as necessary. If you are interested in learning more about the EAC and its committees, please see this document which has more information on time commitment, partnerships, and training.
