Description
Now is the time to foster a scientifically capable and civically engaged populace. Through Earth Force young people get hands-on, real-world opportunities to practice civic skills, acquire and understand environmental knowledge, and develop the skills and motivation to become life-long leaders in addressing environmental issues.
Earth Force achieves these results by training and supporting educators as they implement our unique six-step model for engaging young people. Thanks to 10 years of rigorous evaluation, we know that our model positions young people to use their creativity and passion to play a meaningful role in environmental decision-making.
Earth Force knows that little can be accomplished by working alone. To meet our goals, Earth Force partners with businesses, schools, community-based organizations and civic leaders nationwide.
Programs
CAPS Local Earth Force offices and affiliates offer Community Action and Problem Solving (CAPS), a program that trains and supports educators in the core Earth Force process. Local support helps educators connect to the community, creating hands-on learning experiences for youth.
GREEN The Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN) brings science to life. GREEN has the tools teachers everywhere use to build exciting, hands-on science programs around watershed assessment and improvement projects. Resources include the innovative Protecting Our Watersheds curriculum, testing kits and links and lessons for community action projects.
Earth Force After School This program tailors the Earth Force process for out-of-school settings and gives facilitators a fun way to connect youth to their communities while reinforcing academic lessons learned during the school day. Training and support are offered nationwide.
