Why work for GreenLearning?
GreenLearning creates free education programs about energy, climate change and green economy that engage and empower students to create positive change for our evolving world.
Our programs include both hands-on and critical thinking activities to equip teachers with the educational tools they need to help students understand complex environmental and social issues.
To build our programs, we combine input from national surveys and consultations with teachers and education professionals to inform our teacher writers. All of our lessons are piloted with teachers and school boards and revised based on their feedback before we make them available.
Our growing community is committed to engaging children and youth in environmental activities that allow them to explore the world around them, while developing skills to positively shape their future.
