Essential Earth Futures (GoEEF) is thrilled to announce a new partnership with New American Pathways to launch an immersive summer camp series that brings environmental education directly to refugee and immigrant youth in Georgia.

This exciting five-session mobile Eco Pop-Up Summer Program kicks off in June and continues through July at Northlake Church of Christ in Tucker, GA. The program targets children ages 6–11 and is designed to be culturally inclusive, hands-on, and deeply empowering.

What to Expect

Through interactive activities like:

Plastic Detectives
Eco-Art Labs
Planet Protectors Training
Upcycling Challenges
Eco-Shark Tank Youth Entrepreneurship

...kids will learn about sustainability, climate action, and their personal role in protecting the planet. Each session is aligned with Georgia science standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program encourages creativity, leadership, and real-world environmental problem-solving.

“We’re thrilled to partner with New American Pathways to meet youth where they are and show them that sustainability is not only possible, it’s personal.”
