Our Mission

To use the power of education to advance environmental literacy and civic engagement to create a more just and sustainable future. We work with educators, policymakers, and partners throughout the world.

Our Strategies

Our work is based on more than five decades of research about what motivates individuals, organizations, and communities to learn, take action, and create positive societal change. It is also based on the latest thinking about what makes associations and nongovernmental organizations more effective, and how to collaboratively and effectively scale up our collective impact. Our strategy framework outlines an ambitious strategy to advance our goals over the next three years. However, we know that in our rapidly-changing field, no plan is ever static. The world is in constant flux and we must be focused, but nimble, in response.
