Founded in 1994, Earth Force works to address two emerging national trends among young people: their overwhelming desire to act on behalf of the environment and their desire to help their communities through voluntary service. Earth Force engages young people as active citizens who improve the environment and their communities now and in the future. We do so by training and supporting educators in programs that enable young people to lead community action projects focused on creating sustainable solutions to local environment issues in the community. Earth Force encourages young people to look at the root cause of the issue and focus on creative solutions that address a public policy or community practice. http://www.earthforce.org/
