Help Us Build a Healthier, Sustainable Future For All
We believe in kids and their ability to rise to the challenges in front of them. Today’s students will be the scientists and climate leaders of tomorrow. Change is Simple is working with schools and teachers to empower children with the skills and values they will need to be successful.
Right now, we’re able to reach 7,000+ students each year in 36 elementary and middle schools across Eastern Massachusetts. But there are many kids who aren’t getting this powerful STEM-based environmental education.

“These behaviors have become an integral part of my daily life, and I’m grateful for the foundation [Change is Simple] laid in shaping my environmental responsibility.”
“I support Change is Simple because I believe that if we teach our young kids the importance of being good stewards of the Earth and its ecosystems, they will become more thoughtful and compassionate human beings in other parts of their lives as well. Change is Simple inspires kids to protect our planet by making it fun! This is why I give.”

“I was first introduced to Change is Simple during a function at my daughter’s elementary school. I then attended a Change is Simple lesson and saw firsthand how the material was empowering the kids to make a difference within their own environment. The kids were so engaged. I knew this was an organization that was making a positive difference in the world and I wanted to become more involved and support it’s work. These lessons give them tools for how to think, act and live more sustainably going forward. This is why I give.”
