The Sierra Club is the nation’s oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, and the only Southern California environmental group that engages thousands of volunteers to help people explore and enjoy the outdoors, protect and improve the environment, and elect environmental candidates to public office. We have discovered that doing this work together is a great way to have fun and build lasting friendships.
