Welcome to PODS, where the land is our teacher and community is our foundation. Our mission is simple: to make environmental awareness and immersive nature experiences accessible to every child, regardless of background or circumstance.
Through the lens of Indigenous land-based wisdom, we guide kids and families through the stories of the soil, the water, and the life around us. We specialize in place-based learning—teaching families to love and protect the nature that exists right in their own neighbourhoods.
We believe that connection to the Earth should be a right, not a privilege. By offering low-cost, family-inclusive programs, we create a space where parents and children learn together in a cyclic, supportive environment. We empower families to move from curiosity to advocacy, building a powerful force for environmental action.
Beyond our in-person programs, we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge far and wide. We create comprehensive online resources designed for educators, organizations, and families to access anywhere. These tools are crafted to help you engage in your own learning and foster deep, place-based nature connections no matter where you are.
With the vital support of our funding partners, we are expanding our roots—growing our programming and our digital reach to build a future where every child is an empowered steward of the Earth.
