Project Learning Tree

🌱Big ideas start in the classroom - that's why we're excited to see applications open for the 3rd Annual Green Educators Accelerator from The Educators' Lab in partnership with The Earth Foundation!

At Project Learning Tree, we know educators are powerful changemakers and programs like this help turn ideas into meaningful local action. Through microgrants, coaching, storytelling support, and a global educator community, this accelerator empowers teachers to bring environmental education and nature-based solutions to the classroom.

Past projects have explored everything from regenerative agriculture and soil health to student-led waste reduction and tree propagation initiatives, all rooted in the belief that the best way to invest in students is to invest in teachers.

Selected educators will receive a grant to launch or grow their ideas during the 2026-2027 school year.

📢Applications are open through July 10, 2026. Learn more and apply!
