WE ARE A PASSIONATE GROUP OF STRATEGIC THINKERS, INNOVATIVE COMMUNICATORS, AND CREATIVE MINDS WORKING TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABILITY SOLUTIONS FOR CAMPUSES AND COMMUNITIES.
Intellectual Decisions on Environmental Awareness Solutions (IDEAS) is a youth-led International sustainability movement growing across universities, K-12 schools and communities around the World, providing people of all ages with the opportunities to grow their ideas and leave a positive impact for generations to come.
IDEAS FOR US is a pending 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that helps nurture the talents of youth leaders to drive solutions and implement sustainability programs and initiatives on campuses and across communities around the World. We ultimately steer the IDEAS chapters and build on the ‘passion for change’ by providing youth leaders with consulting services, professional training programs, chapter advancement, leadership development, ideas incubation and peer-to-peer mentorship needed to enact the innovative IDEAS and solve the integrated energy, environmental and economic problems in their community.
Since our inception in 2008, the IDEAS Movement has expanded to:
- 20 chapters in 5 states (FL, TX, IN, NY and NC), including universities, K-12 Schools and International Projects building in Haiti, Belize and Costa Rica. (and growing!!)
- 40+ dedicated campus leaders helping to facilitate their movement (That’s You All Getting this Email!)
- 15+ incredible IDEAS Professionals who will help to provide insight, guidance and even opportunities throughout the year.
- 30+ initiatives we’ve helped to kick start and successfully implement since our inception in 2008.
- 6 National Awards and Recognitions
Collectively, these chapters and their leaders work together to develop new innovations and ideas for the entire sustainability movement; sharing resources and providing best practices in how to initiate these initiatives at different places around the World.
