Founded in 1962, the Hitchcock Center for the Environment’s mission is to educate and inspire action for a healthy planet. Instead of simply teaching about climate change, the Center develops hopeful, creative problem-solvers who can take on the challenges of climate change by helping them reconnect to and learn from nature’s efficient systems and develop a problem-solving mindset. It provides opportunities for people of all ages to develop a relationship with nature; leads sustainable engineering and design challenges for youth; teach communication, organization and leadership skills to teens; convenes adults for discourse and civic engagement around climate change and sustainability; and continues to broaden its reach to include communities disproportionately impacted by climate change.
