The Gaia Project is a wonderful resource that I have been using for many years. They have such a great staff and are truly the most helpful educational resource that I have used in my teaching career.

Brent Anderson

I had ideas for helping the environment before, but this workshop really opened my mind and gave me even more motivation and support.

Student

Harbour View High School
Being a Green Expert volunteer is such a rewarding way to represent the environmental community, especially engaging with young people interested in this future.

The Gaia Project's Renewable Energy Program for 6th graders is nothing short of exceptional. It combines fun, engagement, and meaningful education in a way that truly resonates with young students.

Krista McGinn

Teacher, St. Stephen Middle School
The youth of today are the leaders, innovators, scientists, entrepreneurs and decision makers of tomorrow. The Gaia Project is a unique organization helping students to understand and take action against this existential threat, now and in the future.

John Reid

Volunteer
Opportunities with The Gaia Project have helped to bring about real changes, not only in the students' understanding and views of the world around them and their capacity to help, but also in the way the school is actually run as we have made concrete changes in some of our energy consumption strategies and practices.

Brent Rowney

Teacher, Oromocto High School
Young people have a role in protecting our climate today and tomorrow, this is why we're happy to support The Gaia Project in their mission of empowering youth.
