Network for Evanston's Future is an organization that comprises of six separate organizations who are each working to better Evanston. The different groups address issues like affordable housing, transportation, energy, and food policy.

With six individual task forces, they work to further the climate action plan and actualize its implementation. Illinois Student Environmental Coalition (ISEC) is composed of over 40 organizations from universities and colleges throughout Illinois. ISEC's purpose is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and strategies between campus environmental organizations in Illinois. By fostering channels of communication, ISEC will connect students in productive and meaningful ways to make campus initiatives stronger.

By opening the dialogue between campus organizations we hope that students in Illinois will feel more connected and gain strength from learning and sharing with one another.
