Sprout Up

"Sprout Up provides free, youth-led environmental education programs to 1st and 2nd grade classrooms in underrepresented public schools. Sprout Up is carried out as a program of Environmental Volunteers."

"We teach children concepts in Environmental Science, Sustainability, and the unique ecosystems that surrounds them. During the earliest stages of their educational development, we encourage kids to think in new ways about the world around them through activities, experiments, and discussions, inspiring them to bring the message of environmental stewardship home to their families and friends. In this way, we cultivate the next generation of passionate caretakers of the Earth and promote sustainability from the youngest members of society up."

"Since 2009, Sprout Up has founded 9 chapters in 7 cities across California and 2 Universities in New York City, training over 2,000 college students to volunteer and bring our 8-week Environmental Education program to over 20,000 elementary school students."
