OUR VALUES
Social Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: All individuals deserve to feel empowered to take action for their planet, regardless of race, religion, gender, class, or location. Teaching a variety of educational programs to different populations using virtual and onsite instruction provides equitable access to a broad range of learners.
Stewardship: All individuals deserve a future in which children and adults are exposed to global environmental issues and given the tools to combat them. Stewardship activities promote environmental ethics and unite communities. When individuals perform acts of conservation, they find their place in our interconnected world.
Sustainable Future: All individuals should be given the knowledge to make choices in their daily life that have positive lasting impacts. Education and meaningful learning experiences open minds, initiate change, and empower all individuals to protect our planet.
Unique Perspectives & Innovation: All individuals have unique perspectives and solutions to environmental issues crucial for the future of our planet. Innovation and the lifelong pursuit of knowledge are fostered through meaningful learning experiences. Learners develop knowledge and skills through direct scientific research which empowers them to solve challenges facing their community, environment, and society.
Civic Engagement: All individuals should have an opportunity to care for our planet. Contributing locally is a powerful force in community building and connecting citizens to environments close to home. Ecoliteracy empowers stewards for the planet and strengthens neighborhoods while preparing the leaders of tomorrow.
