The Earth Force Process is a research-based model to implement Environmental Action Civics. It provides a framework for project-based teaching and learning that can be readily adapted to any age group or topic area, as well as to a range of timeframes for working with students. It is a series of six steps that, taken in sequence, guide you and your students to a civic action project that meets a real community environmental need, is of interest to your students, aligns with your curricular goals, and is feasible to conduct.
. . . Support to Thrive
When you become an Earth Force educator, you become part of a lifelong community. You can join a thriving Community of Practice, where you can connect with other practitioners, deepen your knowledge, and build this field together. Earth Force staff and partners are only an email or phone call away.
Join the Community of Practice
This free community bring together Environmental Action Civics practitioners to share best practices and resources, so that we can strengthen the field and equip young people with the skills and motivation to become environmental decision-makers in their communities.
The community is hosted by Earth Force but driven by members. Members can host events, suggest spaces, add input to the community charter, and more. We are growing together!
Skills-Based Training
Our training programs are part of ee360+, an ambitious five-year initiative that supports a diverse cadre of environmental education leaders to increase environmental literacy for everyone, everywhere. NAAEE leads the initiative through a cooperative agreement with U.S. EPA and seven partner organizations including Earth Force.
