Help Plant Trees in Your Neighborhood with TreePlenish
At Elevate Youth, sustainability is one of our core values. We strive to cultivate an organization that consistently invests in the health of our communities and environment. By working with our youth, we raise the next generation of environmental stewards through outdoor immersion and fostering a love for our planet. Tree-Plenish, a 501(c)(3) non-profit started by Massachusetts high school students, works to further empower sustainability efforts through their work.
Tree-Plenish empowers high school students to make their communities more sustainable by planting saplings to offset their school's energy usage. Their primary mission is to combat climate change and promote sustainability by organizing tree planting events in various communities. They aim to engage and empower local volunteers, especially students, to take an active role in environmental conservation and promote a greener future. Their programs provide mentorship, saplings, and resources at no cost, making it possible for students to host community tree planting events to replenish the environment with the resources they use each year. The planning for their events takes place throughout the school year and tree-planting happens in the Spring. This program provides a meaningful opportunity for kids to get outside, connect with nature, and collaborate with others!
Last school year, Tree-Plenish worked with 300 schools to plant 49,405 trees across the country. We are proud to support their work and we encourage you to consider contributing to their efforts.
