Generation Earth offers three different workshops year-round in addition to our two-day Summer Institute workshop. These workshops provide the opportunity to stay informed about local environmental issues, network and collaborate with colleagues, share experiences and gain valuable educational resources. Join our experts to learn about current waste and water challenges in Los Angeles County as well as how your students can become agents of change through our fun and engaging environmental action projects. Read more about each workshop below.

Upcoming workshop dates will be announced shortly! If you would like to be notified of upcoming workshops, sign up for our newsletter.

It’s not time for gloom and doom, it’s time for action! There is no single solution to address climate change, but there are ways we can make small changes to alter our behaviors which are undermining the future of this planet. Join us to explore how project-based learning utilizes Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to empower students to take action on waste, water and health issues stemming from climate change.



From floods to droughts, discover the turbulent history of water in Los Angeles County! This workshop covers the exciting world of watersheds, stormwater pollution, water conservation and stormwater capture. Join us to explore a variety of projects designed to encourage students to address crucial water issues. Attendees will be entered into an opportunity drawing for a free rain barrel!



Did you know that LA County residents make enough trash to fill the Dodger Stadium every two weeks? This workshop covers waste management topics, including recycling, composting and sustainable solutions for your classroom and beyond. Join us to discover how our projects foster creative, forward-thinking solutions to current waste challenges. Attendees will be entered into an opportunity drawing for a free compost bin!



Our two-day Summer Institute Workshop took place on July 20 and 21, 2022 at the Audubon Center at Debs Park. We were joined by educators from all over Los Angeles County as we explored local environmental issues, sustainable waste and water management solutions and resources to facilitate meaningful environmental projects. Those who attended were connected with our staff experts for personalized project support. Together, we enjoyed presentations from teachers highlighting amazing Generation Earth projects from the past year. We journeyed to the Huntington Botanical Gardens for an exclusive field trip where we learned about some crucial water-saving techniques. Our resource fair was a huge success with a wide variety of environmental and educational organizations. We also gave away plenty of eco-friendly Generation Earth swag and raffled off a rain barrel and compost bin!

Check out this teacher’s testimonial: ​​"You all helped me to feel reenergized, reinspired and rewarded with the wonderful space in which I could hear speakers and dialogue with individuals who truly care about nature, our precious resources, and Earth's ecosystems."
