Connecting Kids, Classrooms & Communities to the Natural World
At PEAS (Partners for Education, Agriculture, and Sustainability), we believe learning grows best outdoors and hands-on! Based in Austin, Texas, PEAS cultivates joyful connections with the natural world through outdoor learning and edible education! What began in 2011 as a school and community farm project has blossomed into a nonprofit that has reached over 30,000 students and thousands of adult participants. This year our work has us partnering with 25 schools DURING the school day to deliver over 3,000 students direct programming throughout the school year. Our dedicated Outdoor and Edible Education Specialists partner with teachers to lead engaging lessons in school gardens, outdoor classrooms, and pop-up kitchens to bring academic and social-emotional learning to life. Beyond our partner schools, PEAS offers summer camps, stewards a community farm, and supports educators with professional development, consulting, and innovative teaching tools like The Easy PEASy Guidebook for Place-Based Outdoor Learning and our Digital Lessons, designed to help teachers nation-wide confidently take learning outside. Get involved, and we can grow goodness together! |
