Captain Planet Foundation works collaboratively to engage and empower young people to be problem-solvers for the planet.
“ When we connect with nature, we heal ourselves. When we protect nature, we heal the planet. “
CPF executes its mission both as a program operator and as a grant-maker. Over the past 30 years, more than 1.6 million children have directly participated in CPF’s programs, which have funded 3,300+ projects, impacting 10.5 million young people.
CPF’s operating programs include: Project Learning Garden which has provided 530+ U.S. elementary schools with onsite learning laboratories and healthy food access; Project Hero which is a nationwide, web-based learning platform for K-12 students to save locally threatened and endangered species & ecosystems; Project Giving Gardens which puts school gardens and young urban gardeners to work in the summer months to provide fresh, organically-managed produce to food banks and food pantries; and Planeteer Alliance , a global network of young people who are putting their passion and impatience for change into ACTION for the planet .
Through its four main program areas, CPF invests in high-quality, solution-based programs that empower youth to become environmental stewards and global environmental changemakers:
We support youth-led, solution-oriented projects that address environmental, social, and justice problems.
