The Captain Planet Foundation believes in innovative programs that empower children and youth around the world to work individually and collectively to solve environmental problems in their neighborhoods and communities. Through environmental education, the Captain Planet Foundation believes that children can achieve a better understanding of and appreciation for the world in which they live. In the most recent calendar year, CPF funded 76 hands-on, environmental education projects, and its grantees established 34 outdoor classrooms and organic gardens including pollinator gardens, native habitats, and fruit, herb and vegetable gardens.
