Northwest Cook County Group of the Illinois Sierra Club
The NWCCG is an all-volunteer local group of the Illinois Chapter of the Sierra Club. When you join Sierra Club you are automatically a member of the local group. The Sierra Club is America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization. We have approximately 2,000 members in the northwest suburbs of Cook County. The boundaries for our group include Arlington Heights, Barrington, Bartlett, Deer Park, Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village, Hoffman Estates, Mt Prospect, Palatine, Park Ridge, Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, South Barrington, Streamwood and Wheeling. Please consider joining us on an outing or attending one of our programs or events to find out how you can become active about something you care about.

Looking for Volunteers!
Want to help us out?
If you're interested in working with us at the Sierra Club to make what we do possible, we're currently looking for a social media / digital marketing manager to volunteer with us!
As this is a nonprofit organization run primarily by volunteers like me (and potentially you), this is not a paid position, but instead a volunteer opportunity.
If interested, contact us at nwccsierraclub@gmail.com
