Our Purpose

Our purpose is to..CREATE A CULTURE OF SUSTAINABLE THINKERS™, We provide sustainability education aligned with national standards. Our lessons take a holistic approach to learning, incorporating information formats that children can easily comprehend. Our SWITCH IT OFF™ presentations provide youth, families information on what energy is, why we conserve energy, and how to save energy.  Our team uses engaging tools  to provide climate change information and behavioral energy saving choices. We have been nationally recognized for their leadership in energy conservation and their work with at risk populations. Our materials include graphic texts, work books, and activities which are meant to engage youth and families in Switch It OFF behaviors. The world has become a fast placed environment. To often, youth and families are focused on electronic devices for work or entertainment. We are looking down at our devices and missing the opportunity to engage in real world learning. Our prorgams are designed to empower All people to Switch OFF electronic devices and directly engage actively in the world around us.We encourage youth and families to journal ideas, create task lists, read, write, design, color, play cards, dominoes or simply look up at the world around us. The goal of this program is to teach real life skills inclusive of positive life choice behaviors.
