“Being part of the inaugural cohort of the Sierra Club Activist Academy was a transformative experience. As someone new to the environmental movement, the Academy provided me with the foundational skills and confidence to push myself as an organizer. Thanks to the support and training I received, I am now proud to work in environmental communications for Los Angeles Waterkeeper. This program truly is an incredible resource that’s helping to equip the next generation of environmental activists with the tools they need to make a real impact.”

From May 5 – 19, 2024, the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter and Crescenta Valley Group completed a 1400-mile bus trek through Morrocco. Leaving no stone unturned, we visited 7 UNESCO world heritage sights and climates ranging from the hot dry Sahara dessert to the cooler windy high Atlas Mountains and breezy Mediterranean seaside. In some areas we saw fig trees and bitter Seville oranges, Jacaranda, rosemary, nasturtiums, dates, and almond trees, like we have in California.
