Support our Students and the Planet

Your generous donation to the Bluedot Institute makes a powerful, lasting impact on high school students across the country.

How your contributions will impact Bluedot Institute students:

  • Fireside Community: Our unique program where dedicated high schoolers with big ideas for the planet connect and collaborate, helping each other bring their innovative concepts to life.
  • Student Journalism: Projects that elevate youth voices and highlight grassroots environmental issues and solutions. This work inspires students and adult readers alike, empowering young people to find and use their voice effectively.
  • Climate Leadership Retreats: Providing attendance for students, especially those from historically underserved and equity-deserving communities, at essential climate leadership events.

Any amount is wonderful. We can’t do this without you.
