Award-winning educator cultivating eco-literacy to empower kids

Rachel Arbor

Global Field Program (GFP) graduate Rachel Arbor '23 of Beacon, New York, was recently presented for the environmental education program she's building for PK-8 for her school district. Arbor also recorded a podcast with renowned Psychologist Dr. Sheryl Ziegler on "Dr. Sheryl's PodCouch." In Arbor explains her mission to cultivate a generation of environmentally-literate global citizens to help alleviate eco-anxiety. She aims "to connect students with themselves, with each other, and with nature to help them feel empowered—not powerless," said Arbor.

Arbor earned a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in the Biological Sciences from ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ through Project Dragonfly‘s GFP while working as the Coordinator of Environmental Education for the Garrison Union Free School District in New York.
