For registered members
Meet the GO movement community in person* to exchange ideas & experiences, and develop change-maker skills.
(*These can only take place if a Green Office volunteers to organize it with support of SOS, and if COVID measures allow).
For virtual exchanges independent of physical travel, as the movement expands globally. These take place once per semester.
Coordinators or managers of Green Office teams are invited once per semester for 2 hour exchange about topics of mutual interest (high impact projects, good practices, etc). There is also a group on our platform specifically for coordinators.

2025 membership rates: solidarity-based contribution
View or download the full 2025 membership offer brochure here.
Your financial contribution enables Students Organizing for Sustainability (SOS) to support and connect the members of the GO movement in a way that’s fair and inclusive. The money is used to pay for the working hours of the Green Office Movement Coordinator (as SOS staff) to organise the above-mentioned channels and promote the expansion of the movement. As more GOs join, this may be used to increase GO Movement coordination capacity or offer support funds to GO initiatives or projects.
Considering the varying financial capacities of GOs and GO initiatives, we opted for a solidarity-based model: this means you can choose which amount seems appropriate to you, given your annual budget and willingness to contribute to the movement.
The following movement channels are only available to registered members, paying at least the minimum annual contribution of 200 GBP: the GO Movement resource hub (on MS Teams), monthly member network calls, individual Green Office catch-up calls, discounted rates at the SOS-International summit and online webinars/in-person workshops.
No-cost membership can be granted in special cases, like GOs where students are supported in non-monetary ways and the GO has no or a very limited budget (especially in countries where universities are not well resourced). Please explain your situation in the registration form, if you think this applies to you.
Remember to include this contribution in your annual budget.
2025 membership pricing structure:
- Gold: 950 GBP. Well resourced and long-established Green Office, integrated into university structures and governance.
- Silver: 700 GBP. Established Green Office that has consolidated its position within university structures and governance.
- Bronze: 450 GBP. New Green Office with small staff/student team and limited budget.
- Reduced: 200 GBP. Green Office facing financial challenges with limited staff/student team and/or reduced support from the university.
