What Participants Are Saying . . .
I entered this class somewhat familiar with Earth Force’s EAC model, but I am leaving feeling much more confident that this is a framework we can integrate with our Climate Action Planning framework for teens. I am so excited to be improving the work we do by incorporating all of Earth Force’s fantastic resources!

I really enjoyed the training thought it was very well done on Zoom which is no easy thing. It was informative and I like that some planning time was included, that is very helpful.

This process seems like it will be SO impactful to use with students. The resource library you’ve made is so helpful and will save so much time when I want to execute projects like this. Thank you!!!

Do you provide professional development to adults or work directly with young people? Interested in a process that leads to student-led environmental civic action? This is for you.
The Workshop is virtual, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning and lots of discussion. 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!”
Yes! This work – changing how we teach this field – takes time, money, and support. We’ll help you with all three. $500 stipends are available, thanks to our partnership with ee360+.
Little known fact: we’re allergic to boring professional development here at Earth Force. We think we’ve cracked the code into hosting a collaborative, invigorating, and actually useful virtual event. As one participant put it, “This workshop was well organized and informative. I was given so many ideas, information, and helpful tips that I cannot wait to implement into my curriculum.”
