Sophie Howe, former Future Generations CommissionerAt Black Mountains College, we believe that education is key to understanding where we are today, learning from our past, and preparing for a more sustainable, hopeful future. We are committed to teaching the next generation of leaders how to address the climate and ecological crises through sustainable practices and systems change.
We need the support of those who share our passion for addressing the impact of climate change and our belief that public education is the principal means to train current and future generations to adapt, thrive, and to play a role in the huge changes needed to current systems to ensure a habitable planet. Your donation will directly support our mission to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and passion to do so.
If you share our passion and commitment, please support us and be a good ancestor – invest in the protection of the living planet and the transformation of our current systems.
