Experiential Environmental Education for Young Children in Low Income and ALICE Neighborhoods. The Earth Connect program is a vital initiative that addresses the pressing need for experiential environmental education for young children in underserved communities. By fostering a connection with nature and supporting the cognitive and socio-emotional development of children, we aim to create lasting, positive impacts on their wellbeing and that of their families. With your support, we can turn this vision into reality and empower young children and their families to become passionate stewards of the environment.
