You will also find contact information and opportunities for people looking to get involved with environmental groups. These groups include international groups like the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) national groups like the Sierra Club and local groups like the Jackson Park Advisory Council (JPAC).

Periodically visitors from groups like the Student Conservation Association and Greencorps, and from schools like the Yale School of Forestry and Columbia University, come to present to students the opportunities they are offering. Subscribe to the econet listhost to hear about these events, or email the UCEC coordinator Liz Selbst for more information.
