This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Environmental Education Grants Program (CFDA 66.951), will fund Earth Force, Inc. to implement a $133,530 environmental education project in EPA Region 8. The project aims to increase environmental literacy and promote pro-environmental behaviors by bridging the gap between public awareness of climate risks and local decision-making for community-based climate resilience. Key activities include developing customized educational tools, providing accessible climate resilience resources, and building the capacity of ten community organizations to deliver locally relevant climate education. The project will engage 100 educators working with 4,500 students to undertake action plans that increase awareness and preparedness for climate resilience within the region. Sub-awards will support the participation of 8 local education agencies and 10 nonprofit organizations from disadvantaged communities across the region.
