Veg Student Alliance

Veg Student Alliance is a free, online, weekly, virtual (currently) leadership program for veg and plant-forward teens between the ages of 13 and 18.

Veg students often feel disenfranchised and misunderstood. During each weekly 1.25 hour meeting, students share their experiences, strength, wisdom, passion, and ideas for how to make the world a more compassionate place. Guided by experienced educators, VSA members practice effective and compassionate communication skills, learn new plant-forward recipes, hear from guest speakers on food-related issues, plan an educational outreach activity, and support each other on their veg journey.

VSA is a welcoming community, and teens between the ages of 13 and 18 interested in learning about plant-forward living are encouraged to join. It's a judgment-free zone and we cultivate a climate of learning and compassion. We are based out of the United States, and also accept students from Canada, with hopes to expand.

Here’s what members have to say about VSA:

“VSA is a friendly group from all over the country who are coming together and talking about what they are passionate about . . . a plant based lifestyle!”

“I loved how we formed a community . . . I felt connected to everybody in VSA.”

“VSA made me feel hopeful to meet so many people my age who share my values and love animals.”
