Mission Statement
The Climate Crisis is a pervasive environmental and social issue, which requires collaboration and cooperation to effectively address. Working at all levels within secondary schools, supporting students, faculty, and administration, the Student Environmentalism and Sustainability Network, SEASN, aims to maximize our collective impact on the climate crisis while helping each other achieve higher levels of environmental stewardship. We will inspire and encourage each other, offer guidance, and use our collective influence to encourage a just transition to a greener future for all.

Affiliation with the Friends Council on Education
The Student Environmentalism and Sustainability Network is closely affiliated with the Friends Council on Education (FCE). SEASN is guided by Quaker principles, although we welcome members and schools from all backgrounds.
Mission Statement
Friends Council on Education provides leadership in drawing Friends schools together in unity of spirit and cooperative endeavors. Friends Council’s work nurtures the Quaker life of schools, strengthens the network of support across schools, promotes Friends education through consultations, programs, and publications, and assists in the establishment of new Friends schools. Friends Council helps Friends schools maintain their Quaker identity and ethos, and their relationship with the Religious Society of Friends. Friends Council promotes professional growth for trustees, heads, administrators, and faculty to further the goals of Quaker education, and serves as a voice for Friends schools in the national dialogue on education.
Philosophy
In carrying out its mission, Friends Council on Education supports member institutions in their particular responsibilities as religious schools under the care of or associated with the Religious Society of Friends. Friends Council also provides support to emerging Friends schools. Friends Council’s publications and programs on governance, peace education, service learning, community building, and Quaker testimonies in school life promote Friends values so critical to today’s society.
