Who are we?

Approximately 20 years ago, the social initiative was born, which today has become the non-profit organization Kids 4 Green Culebra on the beautiful island of Culebra. The organization was born out of the need to develop educational programs with a high socio-emotional and socio-economic impact, creating new experiences, opportunities and a vision of personal and professional growth in them.

 

Kids 4 Green Culebra, Inc. is a 501(c)3 exempt non-profit organization that seeks social transformation on the Island of Culebra by advancing its goals in: environmental justice, educational inclusion, social equity, tourism, ethical values, and community economic projects.

 

Nuestro enfoque 

Our primary focus is to create a resilient, multidisciplinary educational center for the advancement of social and environmental justice through the following:

  • Acquiring 5 acres to design and develop a 6,000 sq ft approximately, self-sufficient building that respects the environment and responds to climate change through the use of renewable energy, rainwater harvesting and water recycling systems, in addition to an ergonomic and holistic design. This building is intended to provide mostly open spaces for the development of educational, social, recreational and tourism activities focused on environmental justice and social equity, in addition to a food storage area, an eco-friendly community kitchen and laundry. The main building will be surrounded by small dwellings or “studios” to provide: (1) private emergency shelter spaces; (2) temporary housing for professional resources who donate their time and effort to our cause; (3) temporary housing for any of our participants and their families if needed; (4) housing of school and university groups

Provide environmental and climate justice-oriented education to our children and our communities, providing spaces for:

 

1. STEM-oriented environmental education sponsored by highly renowned organizations.

 

2. It will develop an environmental education program focused on recycling, reuse and food safety, which will include a sensory garden.

 

3. Develop educational outreach programs using our participants as ambassadors outside the Center in each of our communities, in schools and other educational centers that invite us and our visitors.

 

4. Access to technology and educational programs that includes access for functionally diverse populations.

 

5. Therapeutic spaces and services for children requiring specialized education.

 

6.It will develop educational tourism, social tourism, community tourism, environmental tourism and philanthropic tourism.

We hoped to build facilities focused on the protection of the natural and human resources of the Island of Culebra with the goal of not only educating its population but also its visitors and tourists and all the groups that visit us and creating a social enterprise to strengthen its economy within its community.
