EcoRise

We mobilize a new generation of leaders to design healthy, just, and thriving communities for all. At EcoRise, we work at the intersection of sustainability education, climate resilience, and environmental justice by elevating youth voices and advancing student-led solutions to real-world challenges. We believe that education is the bedrock of social and environmental change, and that youth have the power to design a sustainable world.

Our journey began in 2008 in a single high school in Austin, Texas, with a mission to inspire young people to build a better future. Today, we offer a range of curricula and programs for students, teachers, school districts, and partners, designed to advance environmental literacy, sustainable schools, and equitable access to green career pathways. We are passionate about empowering educators and students to tackle sustainability challenges through design innovation and social entrepreneurship.

We are committed to democratizing access to green schools and the green economy. Our programs, such as Sustainable Intelligence and Gen:Thrive, provide the tools and resources necessary to cultivate eco-literacy and climate resilience. We actively work to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, ensuring that students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to lead in the green workforce.

We pride ourselves on our remote-first culture, which allows our team to maintain a healthy work-life balance while making a tangible impact on the world. Our team is a diverse group of educators, innovators, and sustainability advocates dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration. Join us as we rise to create a more sustainable and equitable future for everyone.
