Education Outreach
Education is one of Keep Phoenix Beautiful's main pillars of engagement. This pillar is enforced by the organization's FREE education program. KPB's education team visit schools, businesses, neighborhood associations, and many other groups around the Phoenix area to teach all things sustainability. For over a decade the education program has grown to consist of various in-person and virtual presentations and modules. The resources offered cover several topics including recycling, littering, gardening, composting, community beautification, and overall sustainability.
If you have a topic/presentation in mind that you're not seeing here, send us an email and we can work together to make it happen!
