Through community-led ecological restoration, environmental education, and green workforce development, we equip people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to heal the land, enhance holistic wellbeing, and create just, sustainable, and thriving futures for all.
The Challenge
Our planet is in a precarious moment in history, both socially and environmentally. According to the IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, we are rapidly approaching the 1.5-degree threshold for global temperature, with catastrophic consequences for livelihoods, cultures, ecosystems, and life on Earth. More than 1 million species are at risk of extinction, fundamentally changing the balance of the ecosystems that sustain us. We are facing a crisis of climate refugees, while nations are at war, local communities are denied clean water, and Indigenous peoples and environmental activists are fighting for their lives.
At the same time, very few high schools in the United States teach sustainability education in sufficient detail for students to acquire the valuable skills they need to address our environmental crises, according to researcher Allison Watson. Additionally, numerous studies have revealed a close connection between poverty and a lack of entrepreneurial skills. According to Harvard Business Review (2014), if underserved populations are not taught entrepreneurship, we stand to lose generations of talent that could help lift communities out of poverty while benefiting the planet.
