AASHE Membership Description

Welcome to the AASHE membership page. Our member institutions include two-year and four-year colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and Canada. In addition, businesses, nonprofits and government agencies can become AASHE Partners and help advance our goals. Please see our list of members.

Institutional membership covers everyone on campus, so that the entire community can benefit from access to AASHE resources. This is because sustainability requires that all sectors of campus work together and learn from each other.

Membership provides excellent value for your campus, offering access to a rich array of online resources and numerous opportunities for networking, information sharing, collaboration, and professional development. One of the most frequently mentioned benefits is the learning that takes place when multiple sectors of campus and community are brought together in our workshops, trainings, and conferences.

A campus membership connects your institution with the growing network of colleges and universities, businesses and nonprofits that are working to achieve a just, equitable, and ecologically sound future. Please encourage your campus to join today.
