A Note to Our Students from the Year 2050

Supporting Students Through Wildfire Recovery

With the tragic events of the recent wildfires in Southern California, Grades of Green is looking for ways to help revitalize communities that have been affected. Listen to Dr. Kelley Lê's conversation with Dr. Lindsey Nenadal, Assistant Professor at Cal State Chico, on how organizations can take action to support communities through disaster relief.

In an effort to support the LA community, Grades of Green is taking action to support those who have been impacted. Our team at Grades of Green will work with our current partners to extend our support in helping affected communities re-establish green spaces and educational resources that are so vital to the health and well being of our community members. If your community is need of support, please let us know by completing the form below!

Becoming Water Savers with West Basin
In partnership with West Basin Municipal Water District, Grades of Green is bringing a new assembly to 48 schools within West Basin's service area. We are solving water waster mysteries, seeing how much water it takes to make a burger, and learning water-saving tips—all while inspiring hundreds of students to care for our most precious resource. Each student will take home a Water Star Kit filled with tools and resources to empower students to take action and save water in their community!
