The Sierra Club is an American environmental organization with chapters in
all 50 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. The club was founded on
May 28, 1892, in San Francisco, California, by Scottish-American
preservationist John Muir, who became the first president as well as the
longest-serving president, at approximately 20 years in this leadership
position. The Sierra Club operates only in the United States and holds the
legal status of 501(c)(4) nonprofit social welfare organization.
The
Sierra Club's first members were originally focused on the conservation of
California's Sierra Nevada
mountains. Since then, the Sierra Club has evolved into an organization that
works to advance climate solutions and ensure everyone has access to clean
air, clean water, and a healthy environment.
