Every student in California deserves learning experiences that help them understand our environment, engage with real-world challenges, and contribute to solutions. Yet many students lack access to these experiences and this directly affects the well-being of our families, our economy, and our planet. Ten Strands advances environmental literacy and supports resilient, climate-ready schools across the TK–12 system. Together, we are empowering students and strengthening schools to create a healthier future for people and our planet.

Invest In Ten Strands

Make environmental literacy a reality for all California students!
