It's not a day — It's a movement.
About us
EARTHDAY.ORG’s mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Growing out of the first Earth Day, EARTHDAY.ORG is the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, working with more than 150,000 partners in nearly 195 countries to build environmental democracy. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. We work through a combination of education, public policy, and consumer campaigns. The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Twenty years later, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting environmental issues onto the world stage.

Education Coordinator at EARTHDAY.ORG l K-12 Education l Education Equity l Education Policy l Resource Accessibility Advocate
Experiencing my first year out of the classroom has been a whirlwind. This was also the first year experiencing Earth Day outside of the classroom. It allowed me to reflect on what truly is needed to support schools and educational staff. The goal is to offer what I did not have as an educator myself. I am grateful to work for an organization that has its roots in the original Earth Day. With education and advocacy as its backbone, the education team at EARTHDAY.ORG truly understands #climateeducation. Once an educator, always an educator. Please share and carry on the legacy so we can make Earth Day 2025 a collaborative and transformative experience for students.
