Climate Action Pathways for Schools (CAPS)
Primary and Secondary EducationCalifornia, United States11-50 Employees
Climate Action Pathways for Schools (CAPS) partners with primary and secondary schools to implement climate education programs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The organization develops project-based learning experiences that connect students with highly skilled career pathways while guiding them to create projects that mitigate climate change. These efforts can also help lower operating costs for school districts, with a focus on under-resourced schools. To achieve its aims, CAPS works alongside district leadership, the business office, operations, and educational services teams to develop a climate action plan that includes a ten-year roadmap. Based in Oakland, California, the organization operates in the education sector with a relatively small-to-mid-sized team. In May 2022, the organization announced momentum for school food in California, reflecting a broader focus of its climate-related work.
