About this program

Many local Atlanta schools require financial support to start the certification journey. This additional funding can be used for a variety of needs, including supplies for project-based learning initiatives or professional development aimed at enhancing teachers' expertise. Many school projects incorporate themes of sustainability and materials management.

For Live Thrive, supporting this certification process is crucial because it aligns with our mission to promote environmental health and sustainability. By empowering schools to implement STE(A)M education, we help cultivate a generation of students who are not only skilled in critical thinking and problem-solving but also passionate about protecting our planet.

Live Thrive's STE(A)M grants will provide funding for supplies, professional development to expand teacher knowledge base and additional staffing, as needed. We are working with a committee of public school teachers, STE(A)M coordinators and sustainability educators to determine how funds are allocated. Live Thrive will serve as a non-profit partner and assist with other partnerships if needed.
