GIVING OUR EARTH A VOICE THROUGH
We are a New York City and Los Angeles-based nonprofit that creates content and experiences with youth, for youth, in support of our ecological healing. We do this through graphic storytelling projects, immersive experiences with the natural world, and community action.
Youth Internship Programs
Our programs connect urban youth with nature while exploring human impact issues and solutions. Through various artistic mediums, investigative research, and leadership opportunities, our high school and college interns work in a collaborative space where their voices are heard and honored. Beyond their own civic engagement projects, they play a key role in the development of all the content Rising Earth creates.
Join the movement towards an enviromentally just world.

“The work that Rising Earth is doing is important because they are educating youth and allowing them to create content that is relatable to people their own age—to educate others too.”
Luna:
The Graphic Novel
Our team of writers and artists is currently working on Luna, a true story of youth-led environmental justice. We’re connecting the personal narrative of activist, Julia Butterfly Hill, to the environmental issue of deforestation. Our Teen Production Councils provide our team with crucial feedback during our process.

“‘Luna’ and its accompanying curricula will most definitely spark a desire for change in many hearts. I also love that Rising Earth is creating lessons about environmental science and indigenous people. I personally would have loved to have learned about these things in school.”
