Program areas at Live-Thrive
Metro Atlanta public schools that have chosen to become STE(A)M certified through the state of Georgia are in need of additional resources and funding to complete certification. Live Thrives STE(A)M grants will provide funding for supplies, professional development to expand teacher knowledge base and additional staffing, as needed. We are working with a committee of public school teachers, STE(A)M coordinators and sustainability educators to determine how funds are allocated.
Our environmental education programs promote sustainable materials management through school, business, and neighborhood projects.
