Using environmental sustainability issues as our launchpad, The Academy of Earth Sustainability helps schools, businesses, and individuals to gain critical life skills and knowledge through collaborative, hands-on projects in sustainability. Collaborating to build outdoor spaces, program participants become: Successful Learners and Professionals: Tackling problems hands-on, participants exercise and build vital skills that are necessary to succeed in today’s world, such as teamwork, critical thinking, communication, decision-making, risk-taking, and social responsibility. Confident Individuals: Our outdoor projects provide highly stimulating environments for participants to take control of their training, and apply creativity and resourcefulness to develop real-life solutions. Responsible Citizens: Taking on interrelated challenges such as climate change, food security and poverty, participants gain an important understanding of the big problems and events that shape our world, and take personal initiative to contribute to change within their schools and businesses.
