Every day is an opportunity to celebrate our Earth at The Island School. On Giving Day, we come together to invest in our people and programs that drive positive change in our communities and around the world.
This year, we’re setting an exciting goal: 250 supporters, making a gift of any size, all making an impact on our community.
At 25 years, The Island School is more important now than ever. In a world facing dire climate threats, we continue to launch thoughtful leaders who are engaging in critical conservation initiatives across science, humanities and government in their communities and around the world.
Your donation will directly empower the next generation of leaders and sustain our work inspiring students through place-based, experiential learning, and understanding how to preserve our planet through sustainable systems and research. Learn more about the impact your gift will have on our community.
Help us make an incredible impact this Earth Day. Onward together!
Thank you to all who made a gift on Earth Day yesterday!

“My time at the Island School gave me a window into an education that inspired true investigation. It was the first time I experienced research where the teachers didn’t find the lessons in a textbook—and didn’t know the answers themselves. That experience shaped my high school, college, and career path.”
