Featured Campaigns
Where education meets action.
These campaigns reflect OCE’s commitment to environmental justice, civic engagement, and youth-powered change. Each project offers opportunities for deeper learning, community connection, and hands-on stewardship.
Empowering communities in Vallejo, California to monitor local air and water quality while restoring native ecosystems. This campaign includes educational workshops, youth programming, and hands-on stewardship like native plant giveaways and invasive species removal.
Learn about air monitors, water sampling tools, and how kids and families can contribute to cleaner neighborhoods.
This youth-led initiative tackles illegal dumping and littering in the Catskills region. Through creative clean-up events, environmental art, and storytelling, young people are reclaiming their communities and redefining what local stewardship looks like.
🎨 Includes student-led mural projects, photo journals, and “trash hikes” that combine data collection with local pride.
At the Barricades
After nearly five decades of incarceration, Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier was granted executive clemency by President Joe Biden on January 19, 2025. This historic decision commuted Peltier's life sentence to home confinement, allowing the 80-year-old member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians to return to his ancestral homelands in Belcourt, North Dakota .
The campaign continues to educate young people about environmental justice, Indigenous rights, and legal advocacy, ensuring that Peltier's story and the lessons it embodies remain a vital part of our collective consciousness.
