Responding to the growing demand for climate justice trainings, EarthGen collaborated with Stacy Meyer, Regional Science Coordinator at ESD 112, to develop three new Climate Justice League cohorts across the state. Nearly 100 teachers joined these new cohorts in fall 2021.
Sound Consumer contributor Tara Austen Weaver recently visited a program supported by EarthGen, which emphasizes youth-centered, collective solutions for a healthy planet. At PCC, 100% of proceeds from our “Farm-to-School” bagged Fuji apples supports EarthGen and other local organizations focused on food systems education.
EarthGen’s training programs help teachers make climate change relevant for students with examples connected to their own lives, and through activities that build their sense of agency to make a difference.
