OUR HISTORY

"Solutions for a Sustainable & Just Future" was started by 19-year-old Sage Lenier at UC Berkeley. What began with just 25 enrolled students grew into a 300-person lecture hall in just five semesters, breaking Cal’s record for the largest student-led course ever. We have garnered attention from The New York Times, The World Economic Forum, Teen Vogue, and TIME Magazine and have been awarded by the California Higher Education Sustainability Conference for our revolutionary, solutions-oriented approach to climate education for youth, by youth.

To-date, the UC Berkeley program has served over 1,800 students and counting. Sage also offered the course digitally to a global audience in Spring of 2021 in partnership with Zero Waste USA. We are now taking our vision truly global through creating digital open-source educational offerings and creating partnerships with new universities, high schools, businesses, community spaces — anyone who wants to learn.
