University of Toronto’s 2024-2025 Sustainability Student Group Inventory
The 2024-2025 Student Group Inventory is the 6th edition of this inventory completed by CECCS.
Source: This list includes student group, clubs, societies, unions, and associations at the three University at Toronto campuses and affiliated colleges with mandates that align with the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The groups were identified through the U of T Student Organization Portal.
Methodology: The 2024-25 inventory was compiled by first using a set of Python programs, where organization names and descriptions were matched to a set of keywords related to each SDG. The identified organizations and keywords were then manually screened to ensure relevance to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The resultant list is sortable by Group Name, Campus, Group Description, Primary Contact, Email, and SDGs. 402 student groups were identified, out of a total of 1233 student groups (32%) that existed on U of T Student Organization Portal when the inventory was completed in December 2024.
The following table contains the inventory. If you are a member of the U of T community and you believe a student group should be added or removed, or information edited from the inventory, please contact us at ceccs@utoronto.ca.

We plan to achieve this by collaborating with non-profit organizations such as Youth Without Shelter, Toronto Alliance to End Homelessness (TAEH), Salvation Army, and local shelters. We will be arranging seminars and tabling events to raise awareness about this situation. Furthermore, we plan to take mini field trips to areas experiencing high rates of homelessness such as areas in downtown Toronto. In these mini field trips, we will meet with shelters around the GTA and drop off little care packages with goods and hygiene products.
