What work, you ask? And why?

We asked a few community members to chime in and let us know what BTCEA means to them.

We NEED this education because… “we need to foster a sense of care for the environment in the next generation of children.” -Youth Leader Salina Kung

BTCEA’s role in my community is… “to support each of us to be the change necessary to bring about a world that is environmentally sustainable, socially just and spiritually fulfilling. That is a huge part of its genius, since our fragmented world deeply needs more holistic approaches.” - Past BTCEA Board member Kate Sutherland

BTCEA’s curriculum is a vital element in schools because… “it is a catalyst to change and engages youth to build a knowledge base, extend their learning, ultimately engaging in a worthy cause and making a difference.” - Teacher Denise North

I remember when… “I attended my first BTCEA symposium, for the first time I felt that there was hope for our current and future generations because there are others who truly care about our environment and want a more sustainable future. The event was an eye opener and empowering experience that allowed me to understand that regardless of our differences as individuals we can make a difference in our society by speaking up and taking action.” - BTCEA Intern Flora Lin 

We need this type of education RIGHT NOW because…  “Teenagers often just need a nudge to get out of their comfort zone and engage in something that makes a difference within themselves and/or within their community; that’s the essence of SLS.  We can never underestimate how students are today’s leaders; they have the ability, and energy, to make a difference once given a chance.” - Teacher Denise North
