Cooler Communities

Connecting classroom learning to climate solutions across MA communities.

Cooler Communities in Schools

The Cooler Communities program empowers K-12 students with engaging, solution-centered climate education across all grades and subjects. Through free books, grants, professional development, as well as classroom support and enrichment programs we help prepare the next generation for a future shaped by climate change. Students can be powerful messengers to their families and communities. Together with their outstanding teachers and our funding partners, we elevate their voices across Massachusetts and beyond.
