Help grow the next generation of environmental stewards
With your support, we’ll connect children to nature, engage students in learning, and improve student achievement.
Project Learning Tree firmly believes that through environmental education we can develop a new generation of leaders prepared with the knowledge and skills to address complex environmental and social issues, as well as take action to keep our natural world healthy, our economies productive, and our communities prosperous and vibrant.
Project Learning Tree is honoring our rich history and legacy, while also working to offer skills, experiences, resources, and connections that are relevant for the 21st century and for a rapidly changing environment.
With your donation, together, we can:
Build a Diverse & Resilient Workforce
The pool of young people entering green jobs is not sufficient to meet the demand for tomorrow’s workforce. We are working to help youth explore the diversity of careers in the forest, conservation, and sustainability sectors and create a diverse talent pipeline.
Support Green Career Pathways
We will develop a suite of materials and support the implementation of activities designed to expose diverse young people to green career pathways. Opening the door of possibility to young people so that they see themselves in a green career benefits everyone.
Launch a National Interactive Mentorship Program
We will develop and launch a national interactive mentorship program designed to thoughtfully pair young people with mentors in the green jobs sector and provide an the opportunity for them to learn relevant skills such as leadership, communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
Engage More Youth in the Outdoors More Often
The majority of our lessons and activities take teachers and their students outside—in urban, suburban, and rural settings. Experiencing nature through forests at an early age can help build a solid foundation for a healthy lifestyle focused on the outdoors.
Focus on Equity and Inclusion
PLT is dedicated to ensuring that our education materials contribute to authentic and meaningful learning that represents diverse voices. We are working to build an inclusive movement toward forest and environmental literacy to promote ecological integrity, economic prosperity, and social equity.
Develop Standards Alignment
PLT can be a solution for formal and non-formal educators looking for ways to engage their students in environmental and STEM-based learning. We align all our activities and instructional materials to the Next Generation Science Standards and other academic standards.
