About the Project

Mitigating climate anxiety is a crucial first step in addressing the climate crisis and achieving climate equity. Students will participate in monthly field trips to local habitats to build direct connections with the environment. Civic engagement will involve visits with elected officials to foster student advocacy and awareness of policy-making. Literary engagement will be supported through classroom visits from picture book authors who focus on climate activism, enriching the learning experience through storytelling. The project will be informed by the educator’s upcoming fellowship with the Morpho Institute’s Educators Academy in the Amazon Rainforest, with the goal of building lasting connections that further enrich the program.
