You're invited to join a community forum on sustainability education!

Join Earth Care International and the Sustainable Santa Fe Commission for the first of a series of community forums to bring youth, schools, and community members together to advance our collective work to engage and empower youth in the process of building a more vibrant, sustainable community, implement the City's sustainable development goals, and meet schools' educational improvement needs.

Education plays an essential role in the transition to a sustainable society.

Sustainability serves a vital role in motivating and engaging young people in their education.

How can schools contribute to sustainable community?

How can community help schools become sustainable?

What are we already doing?

What can we do together?

Join teachers, youth, and school and community leaders from the Santa Fe area who share these passions and desire for action. Hope to see you there! Please feel free to invite your friends and colleagues.

Please RSVP to Christina Selby at christina@earthcare.org so that we may plan accordingly.

Sincerely,

Christina Selby
Program Director
Earth Care International
