Our group offers members and prospective members opportunities to explore, enjoy, and protect the environment by volunteering, going on outings and becoming environmental activists. Welcome! 

Sierra Club mission statement is “to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s ecosystems and resources; To educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment, and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.” The statement comprises of the listed components:
1.    Protecting the environment
2.   Improving lives
The primary duty of the Sierra Club is to maintain the stability of the environment by combating all elements of destruction. This organization has been championing for such issues through its advocates, community of volunteers, and other supporters. Sierra Club understands the essentiality of nature to the survival of humanity. It, therefore, commits all its resources to rally like-minded individuals to join its course and create a world where people can flourish and achieve their potentials.

Go solar, together!

Have you ever thought about putting solar panels on your roof? We’re teaming up with nonprofit Solar United Neighbors (SUN) to bring you the Palm Beach 2024 Solar Co-op  — a free group to help you go solar.
 
The Palm Beach 2024 Solar Co-op will help Palm Beach homeowners and small business owners learn about solar together and purchase solar panels at a group rate from a single installer.
 
Together, co-op members will learn about solar energy and leverage their numbers to get competitive pricing and quality solar installations. After a competitive bidding process facilitated by SUN, a group of volunteers from the co-op will select a solar company to complete the co-op's installations.
 
Interested in learning more about SUN and have your solar questions answered? Attend a Solar 101 information session.
