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.
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..
