Bringing education for a sustainable future to K-12 teachers around the US since 2003, and now internationally, through the non-profit organization The Children's Environmental Literacy Foundation (CELF)www.celfeducation.org: Katie Ginsberg, Founder and Executive Director, and Patti Bressman, Director of Programs and Operations. Their mission is to establish sustainability as an integral part of every child's K-12 learning experience.
Education not only informs, it can stretch and reshape minds with new ideas. It has the power to transform students themselves into agents of change, helping to create a sustainable future for us all. Education for sustainability is essential for todayÌ¢âÂã¢s students to make wise decisions for their own well-being and for the good of the planet and all its inhabitants. For ten years, Katie and Patti have been creating and delivering professional development programs that train teachers to integrate local and global environmental, economic and social justice issues into their existing curriculum and after-school programs. Their student programs train students to become peer leaders in sustainability and stewardship issues.
