Rainforest Youth Ambassadors

Building bridges between classrooms and rainforests

We know that the youth of today are the future of the planet’s environmental sustainability and we need their help. Together, we’re encouraging schools, universities, scout troops, and youth groups to lead a rainforest fundraiser in their communities.

Rainforest conservation starts with a creative fundraiser

The planet is in crisis, and it needs our help. Universities, schools, scout troops and youth groups can help bolster Rainforest Trust’s conservation impact.

We work to preserve the most endangered tropical forests and threatened species that call these habitats home. As a result of our work, we’ve protected over 52.2 million acres of threatened habitat, but there’s much more to be done.

Rainforests and You

Rainforests are one of the most important natural resources left on Earth. They are places of scientific discovery, and safely store billions of tons of carbon, helping ward off climate change. Rainforests are home to millions of unique animals and plants. And millions of people depend on rainforests for their livelihoods.

You have the power to make a lasting difference and protect the rainforest. By supporting Rainforest Trust, your donation goes directly to our projects around the world — saving land, protecting species, empowering communities and securing a future for the entire planet.

And any student or class can get involved through the Rainforest Youth Ambassador Program!

Need Fundraising Ideas? We’ve Got Them.

Students collect new and gently worn shoes at school or from other local businesses. It is super easy to do, every student and their family can participate, and we provide the marketing materials to help promote your efforts. We also provide pick up once all shoes are collected.

Rainforest Trust receives a donation payment for the shoes and they are then repurposed to create economic opportunity, stability and hope for individuals, families, and communities in developing nations. A great lesson in recycling and re-purposing!
