Mission Statement

Every child deserves a place to grow. One Cool Earth is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit working in San Luis Obispo county since 2001. We've united with communities and schools to create thriving school gardens that grow student health, academics, and well-being.

Description

We are looking for volunteers in the following areas and more!

1. Site Selection: We elect to work at school sites based on site need and willingness to

create, utilize and maintain outdoor classrooms.

2. Planning: We listen to school site stakeholders to create goals for the outdoor classroom,

assessing community, student, and school site interests, needs and resources.

3. Development and Construction: We draw upon community assets to build programming

and facilities that serve the unique needs of each site.

4. Maintenance and Operation: While we ultimately hope to support the self­-sufficiency of the

school sites we work with, we are committed to providing long­term technical assistance,

volunteer coordination, and grant­writing for our sites..
