"We don't inherit the Earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children."

 

Earthbound is a program that takes GU student volunteers to local middle and elementary schools to run after school activities that are fun and environmentally educational. Sponsored by CCASL, we focus on schools with the highest rates of free and reduced lunch to ensure that a lack of economic privilege will not lead to lack of environmental awareness and appreciation. We all have a right to a clean environment!

Children that get outside are healthier and happier. Also, children who grow up without exposure to the natural world are far less likely to preserve it as adults. Help us combat nature deficit disorder and environmental generational amnesia!

We raise funds for Earthbound through our Recycled Notebook Project. Help us by donating your materials and/or by buying some. They are available in CCASL offices or at Gonzaga's Bookstore.

To get involved with Earthbound, please contact the Earthbound Student Coordinator, Hannah Meucci at hmeucci@gonzaga.edu or Katie Kaiser at 509-313-6821 or kaiserk@gonzaga.edu.

This program will fill Service Learning Requirements for GU students.
