LEAF's Mission

The mission of Student Leadership for Environmental Action Fund--commonly known as Student LEAF-- is to empower students in transforming the campus community towards a more sustainable culture. This is achieved through the collaboration of students, faculty, and staff in funding projects. Our projects, submitted by the UNC student body, include building & grounds improvements, and education initiatives that promote resource efficiency and an environmentally conscious lifestyle. These efforts are realized through enduring relationships based on trust, respect, and responsibility.

Student LEAF is managed by a committee of UNC students, staff and faculty representation. An additional student fee of $1 per credit hour each semester supports Student LEAF in achieving UNC's goals of a propelling the campus into a more environmentally conscious future.
