Our Mission:
The Kids Ecology Corps is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization
whose mission is to inspire young people to make environmental action part of
their everyday lives and in the lives of those around them.
KEC has reached over 70,000 young people from pre-k through high
school, offering unique hands-on presentations and eco-action programs that
educate children and youth about: keeping our oceans clean; the importance of
trees; the role re-planting our coastal wetlands play in beach conservation;
water conservation; pollution prevention; global climate change and energy
conservation; and protecting local natural habitats for native wildlife.
