About Conscious Lifestyle
Conscious Lifestyle is a nonprofit organization that empowers students and schools to be more socially responsible.
In particular, we support ventures on high school and college campuses that create positive change on both the individual and institutional levels. The social innovators who lead these ventures attack problems in their communities with creative solutions based on their skills and passions.
The philosophy behind Conscious Lifestyle is that we, as citizens, don’t have to wait for elections to vote for progress. Everyday we have an opportunity to make a difference by living socially responsible lifestyles.
Conscious Lifestyle began with two simple questions: “How do my actions affect other people and the environment?” And, “What more can I do?” Today, students across the country are asking these questions about themselves and their schools and taking action to make a difference.
