At EARTH we work to strengthen the leaders of tomorrow, but leaders are not just our students, they are individuals around the world who are willing to take action to make a difference. You can be one of those individuals. By volunteering to support EARTH- through your donations, through your time- you are taking a step to create change in the world. By educating your friends and family about EARTH you are helping to spread our message of sustainable solutions for a better future. Check out the ways you can volunteer below.

 

Host an Event
EARTH University Foundation relies on the support of individuals like you to raise awareness and donations for EARTH. You can host an event to share information about EARTH with your friends and family.

 

Consider hosting a potluck dinner in your home, school, workplace or congregation. Ask participants to each bring a dish from a different country represented at EARTH. Make sure to use some organic produce! Use the diverse foods as a platform to discuss EARTH’s impact around the world.

Organize a fundraiser for EARTH University Foundation. Ask local restaurants that offer organic foods to donate part of their sales for a selected evening. Be sure to invite your friends and family to dine out, sharing with them the advances EARTH is making in sustainable farming.

For more ideas or for assistance in planning an event contact Melonie Tharpe.

 

Tierra Program
Do you feel inspired by the work of EARTH students and alumni? EARTH University Foundation has created the Tierra Program to allow EARTH supporters to be active in their local communities in the name of EARTH. Tierra members plan volunteer days, informational events and even fundraisers all in the name of EARTH.

 

Launched in 2008 as the first Tierra group, Tierra Atlanta participates in monthly events. On the second Saturday of every month Tierra members team up with an Atlanta based volunteer organization to give back to their local community; planting trees, cleaning parks, manning soup kitchens and much more. Members have also organized informational events at venues like the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, learning about sustainability both in Atlanta and around the world. Join them through our meetup.com website.
