Thanks so much to Emily Hertz from Denver Audubon for joining us to talk about Environmental Action Civics! She describes what it can look like in an environmental education organization (and how they’re experimenting with setting initial topic boundaries this year) – and the importance of relationships in doing this work.

Here at Earth Force, we are the home of Environmental Action Civics and we exist to increase youth participation in environmental decision making! In Environmental Action Civics, students share power with adults, they practice democratic decisionmaking and address local environmental problems using civics. Adults are right beside them igniting a new generation of decision makers.

And new this year, we’re introducing these Field Chats – every other Friday - in addition to our other supporting resources, we’ll be hosting these chats where we’ll be sharing our resources, tips and conversations with EAC practitioners.
