Environmental Literacy

It is easy to understand why many kids feel that “the environment” cannot be found within New York City. The quiet existences of trees, insects, and plants are easily overshadowed by the omnipresence of streets, cars, buses, subways, and buildings. However, cities themselves are ecosystems facing unique environmental threats of their own, as well as global threats like climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. As the world becomes more urbanized, it is imperative that we activate environmental literacy and stewardship among the young people who call cities home.

City Growers increases kids’ environmental literacy through experiential education programs that allow them to cultivate meaningful relationships with the natural world, right in their home city. Kids deepen their understanding of the problems facing our urban ecosystem and our planet through hands-on learning and exploration. From native plant restoration to green roof farms, we introduce city kids to the most effective and innovative environmental solutions of our time.

Today’s children will inherit a planet suffering from the actions of previous generations. At City Growers, we see today’s kids as tomorrow’s leaders. We aim to equip them with the knowledge, network, and passion they’ll need to effectively tackle environmental problems, both locally and globally. By teaching kids about the urban environment through hands-on learning, our programs transform the way they see themselves, their city, their world, and their future.
