Put civic action into your program
Learn how to implement Environmental Action Civics to promote student-led civic action in various educational settings. Our six step process and resources start with students’ lived experiences and offer concrete steps to involve community stakeholders, democratically decide on the issue and solution, and advocate for a policy or practice change. When students have these three experiences, research shows they will be more environmentally and civically motivated to take action in the future.

What Educators Are Saying...
Sarah and Taylor were amazing facilitators. They were patient, organized, kind, and knowledgeable!
This was one of the best teacher trainings I have ever done.
I love that this isn't just a "do this" or "learn this" workshop, but a building workshop to help us empower our students to do what they want and learn what they want.
After this week's training, I have the confidence to implement an Environmental Action Civics project with my students. While it may not go smoothly the first time, I feel supported by the Earth Force staff that we'll be able to navigate the challenges that come our way.
I feel more confident engaging students in civic action projects now that I have a framework and guiding resources to move us forward.

What's the structure?
The Workshop is virtual, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning. We've been working virtually since 2010 - and we've developed a sense of how to build community even through screens! One participant said "Earth Force staff showed off some stellar virtual facilitation techniques that as a fellow facilitator I will definitely be putting into action!"
