We believe climate solutions start in the classroom.

Schools are the heart of our communities and shape the future of our children. With the right support, schools can also help create a greener, healthier and brighter world for our students.​

Invest in the Future

The next five years are everything!




Our vision is bold and clear: make climate action in schools visible and measurable, so the impact can't be ignored. Cultivate a generation of climate leaders who carry these values far beyond the classroom. And build the financial foundation that ensures this work doesn't just survive - it thrives, expands, and outlasts all of us.




The next generation of climate leaders isn't coming. They're here - in classrooms across Marin, right now, waiting for the tools and the belief that they can make a difference. 

Be the reason they get both.
