Sustainability Education Officer

About ecoACTIVE

ecoACTIVE is a sustainability charity that supports local communities through solution-based, hands-on learning and nature connection to inspire positive action. Our ultimate vision is to cultivate resilient and sustainable communities where both people and nature thrive.

We guide people along a meaningful journey toward sustainable living by empowering them to notice, connect, care, act, and influence. By addressing critical modern needs such as climate anxiety, disconnection from nature, and a lack of green skills, we design practical projects that focus on place-based community empowerment. From delivering immersive school workshops and community gardening programs, to supporting youth-led climate action, we translate global environmental challenges into relevant, locally important solutions.
