Environmental Volunteers believes all children deserve to learn about the natural world through personal exploration, so they can become responsible stewards of the Earth. At the Environmental Volunteers we believe that what children appreciate and love, they will protect.

Utilizing 57 years of combined experience, Environmental Volunteers will seek to sustain and revitalize Sprout Up Chapters in California and New York, while reinforcing Environmental Volunteers’ existing programs with college student volunteers. They also hope to bring environmental education to students nationally through the partnership and expansion of Sprout Up chapters in new universities and public schools.
Since 1974, the Open Space Institute has emphasized the importance of supporting conservation on a permanent, landscape scale. As a fiscally sponsored organization with OSI’s “Citizen Action Program,” Sprout Up NYC receives financial and legal oversight and mentorship.
