Youth are the group of people we need to empower, engage and train
The IFSA Supporter and Alumni Network (SAN) in a nutshell:
IFSA, the International Forestry Students Association,
is a non-profit association that aims to promote better education in forest and environmental sciences. Therefore, IFSA organises local, regional and international excursions, workshops and symposia where participants can learn forest and landscapes related contents, networking and cultural understanding. Furthermore, IFSA provides its members chance to visit international policy events from the forest, climate and environmental sector. Here, IFSA empowers its youth delegates to raise up the voice of the youth and experience first-hand how policy making works.
The SAN, the IFSA Supporter and Alumni Network,
is a non-profit association that aims to bring together people, institutions and IFSA Alumni to support youth in forest and environmental sciences and respective policy processes. A focus a given to the national and international exchange of knowledge and students as well as their participation at events that serve their extracurricular education and policy experience. This way, the activities of IFSA shall be supported and further developed.

The SAN by statutes has two functions:
- The support of IFSA, both financially, ideationally and administratively.
- The establishment of an IFSA Alumni Network, in order to foster contacts between IFSA and former IFSA members.
