Inspiring the Next Generation of Environmental Stewards
Environmental Education
Education is where environmental stewardship begins. Clean Memphis partners with schools across the city to connect classroom learning with real-world environmental action, empowering students to understand, protect, and improve their local community.
Our Story
Our Approach
Our education program provides free, standards-aligned environmental lessons that reinforce classroom learning through hands-on, student-centered activities. Lessons focus on Memphis’ local ecosystems, food systems, and waste cycles, helping students see the direct connection between the environment and their daily lives.
We believe lasting change starts early. Research from Stanford University shows that environmental education strengthens critical thinking, problem solving, and civic engagement — skills essential to developing lifelong stewards of our planet.
