Overview

Mission

Our mission is to safeguard our children's food and water by securing a stable climate through education, community building, and stories that unite humanity.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our program reach is estimated to have increased by 70% in 2025 compared to 2024! (from 1469 to ~2,000)community fun events: may 17th at springbrook nature center, 500+ attendees sailing on bde maka ska, august 16th passive house tour, november 8th climate action and you at the bell museum, november 15thgreen light puppets (glp)a. State fair shows on 2 stages, and our community table in the eco experience were great! The spinning wheel was a hit! B. We are at hall stem academy and loring elementary, teaching k-1 after-school programs in north minneapolis all yearc. 3 teaching artists went to mankato to teach 7 youth eco solutions (yes) environmental club how to do puppetry. We gave them a portable stage and a set so they could hit the ground running and perform shows in their community.d. April 27th 2 shows at incarnation lutheran for about 150 peoplee. The next fun event will be on. Due to recovery, i'm not sure if i'll be able to make it. It would be awesome to have board members to do what we did last year with the sock puppet making, pledges, and tabling. I will have two teaching artists there giving the puppets shows every hour.
