MEVO is a grassroots youth organization which is operated by un-paid student volunteers from High School and Colleges. MEVO has three goals Service, Sustainability, and Environment which guide our work. The organization has no mission statment but each initiative, program, crew, and project MEVO takes on, does. Our two Programs MEVO Organizes are Earth Crew and Farm To Live.
Earth Crew
Mission: "Earth Crew is the core and life-blood of the Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization, Inc. (MEVO). Comprised of passionate volunteers, we carry out weekly service events that heal the natural environment and engage people in stopping environmental degradation."
Farm To Live
Mission: "Farm To Live empowers and educates local communities through ethical agriculture. We span the spectrum of the greater NYU community, volunteering to build social consciousness and grow sustainable, healthy food systems. We plan to inspire by creating a farming community that lives generously with people and the Earth."
MEVO works throughout towns in New Jersey and New York connecting youth from colleges and high schools together through volunteer work. In the end creating stronger youth support for the environment and climate movements. We organize environmental volunteer events and volunteer with local non-profit and other environmental organizations. Some volunteer events we organize are planting trees, handing out Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs to reduce CO2 emissions, hiking trail restoration, trash clean-ups to restore damaged eco-systems, and farm work to maintain local natural farms.
Mission Statement
The Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization, Inc. (MEVO) addresses world environmental problems by organizing itself as an environmental service organization with the organizational goals of service, sustainability, and environment.
Service is the way MEVO helps to reduce crucial environmental problems by organizing a group of volunteers to perform peaceful tasks in their communities and the surrounding area. Allowing students with their own bare hands to change and fix environmental problems in the world.
Sustainability is the goal and founding belief of MEVO. It broadly reflects the recognition that our actions today affect our prospects for tomorrow, and increasingly, these actions will affect the quality of life and prospects of future generations. The actions MEVO takes by organizing volunteer service events are aimed to promote environmental sustainability, to reduce human negative effects on the environment, and promote more environmentally friendly lifestyles.
Environment is considered by MEVO to be all of the surrounding, consisting of the ecology of the world, air, water, minerals, and organisms. MEVO works to preserve and protect the natural balance of this environment.
