Climate and Canvas!
Join us for Climate & Canvas, a special event celebrating student creativity and environmental awareness at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM).
Through this program, students explored the topic of climate change and reflected on their personal relationship with the environment. Using art as their voice, they created powerful, thought-provoking pieces that express their perspectives, concerns, and hopes for the future. Climate & Canvas brings these works together in a vibrant showcase that highlights both artistic talent and the importance of climate education.
We invite you to experience this inspiring exhibition on April 26 from 1:00–5:00 PM at CAM. Come support young artists, engage with meaningful work, and be part of a community conversation about our planet.
If you’re passionate about empowering youth and supporting arts and environmental education, consider becoming a sponsor. Your support helps make programs like this possible and ensures that more students have the opportunity to learn, create, and share their voices.

nature and spark a love for learning.
Mentorship
Throughout the academic year, GGO works with students inside and outside of the classroom to develop impactful and lasting connections. Students can count on seeing their mentors each week in science class to participate in hands-on lessons. Beyond the classroom, mentors lead our students on environmentally-focused outdoor adventures.
STEAM Education
All lessons and outdoor adventures put on by GGO are designed to match and expand on the students’ STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) curricula. From learning about ecosystems on paper to experiencing those ecosystems on hikes, GGO combines STEAM instruction and outdoor learning to enhance students’ scientific literacy.
Outdoor Adventure
Along with solidifying the in-class lessons, our monthly outdoor adventures enable our students to learn outdoor skills, strengthen relationships with fellow classmates and their GGO mentors, and develop leadership skills. Ultimately, experiencing science through outdoor adventure improves our students’ perceptions of science and the world around them.
Healthy Lifestyle
The GGO program encourages students to live healthy and active lifestyles. Through creating school gardens, facilitating a myriad of physical activities, providing access to healthy snacks, and introducing students to outdoor recreation, we work to support the adoption and maintenance of healthy rituals in our students.
