Meet Ms. Rodriguez.

Ms. Rodriguez is a dedicated teacher who is passionate about helping her students understand the world around them. Like many educators, she recognizes how crucial it is to teach climate change, but has often struggled with the challenge of delivering it in a way that truly resonates with her students. She also struggles with balancing a demanding curriculum and managing limited classroom resources. Finding time to plan meaningful climate lessons seems nearly impossible.

That all changed when Ms. Rodriguez discovered SubjectToClimate. Our platform provided her with exactly what she needed—ready-to-use, scientifically-vetted, standards-aligned lesson plans written by teachers like her, engaging activities, news articles for her students, professional development opportunities, and more. Every resource on the site was designed to make it easier for her to integrate climate education into the curriculum she was already teaching. These resources not only aligned with educational standards, but they gave her the tools to teach climate change in a way that resonated with her students, empowering them to think critically about their impact on the planet and inspiring them to take meaningful action. Unlike many other platforms with educational materials, everything on SubjectToClimate’s site was completely free.

With the help of SubjectToClimate, Ms. Rodriguez no longer feels overwhelmed or intimidated by the idea of teaching climate change. Instead, she’s confident in the materials she is using to teach climate topics to her students, and is leading the charge in her classroom and her school.

Ms. Rodriguez isn't alone.

With support from donors like you, we’re working to change these numbers.

At SubjectToClimate, we empower the next generation to take meaningful climate action by providing educators with free, high-quality educational resources that incorporate climate topics into all grade levels and subjects. Our mission is to empower all educators to easily and effectively teach about climate change, justice, and action. We've already reached nearly 500,000 educators, but we know that this is just scratching the surface of the over 3 million educators in the U.S. In 2025, we aim to reach 400,000 more teachers, with the goal of educating 6,000,000 more students on climate change. We aim to do this by: building Hubs in Michigan and Illinois; training a cohort of New York educators to create at least 45 climate-focused lesson plans – expanding our newly launched New York Climate Education Hub and adding more content to our core database; and developing more more vetted resources from content partners to amplify their inspiring work.
