Youth Education
Bringing sustainability education to the leaders of tomorrow.
A sustainable future requires tomorrow's leaders to understand the impact of their actions and to choose a better way. Here at The Environmental Center, we are developing and delivering education on sustainability to the future generation of thinkers, teachers and leaders.
-
We bring free classroom and community presentations to K-12 schools and community youth organizations in Central Oregon.
-
We support school projects that aim to reduce waste and conserve resources through our annual grants program.
-
We give technical assistance to support sustainable schools and work with schools to become certified Oregon Green Schools.
-
We believe that food is a great pathway to connect children to nature and sustainability, so we are creating the Kansas Avenue Learning Garden.
-
We assist local educators working to embed sustainability in the classroom with our online educator resources.
-
We support the No Child Left Inside movement by getting kids outside with our Outdoor School Days and connecting teachers to other available outdoor experiences for our youth.
