We help students to develop more climate literacy and explore their love of the planet through thoughtful innovation and action.
Education that focuses on personally relevant and meaningful information, coupled with active teaching methods, leaves young people better prepared for the future. That’s why we have partnered with Walking Softer to develop and deliver educational tools that support climate literacy, green careers, and youth community action projects. You can learn more about research on how to support youth on the topic of climate change here.
