Want to help us prepare materials for teachers for the next school year? The next material preparation event will be held on June 24th and we have dates throughout July.

Envirolution would like to spotlight one of our most dedicated monthly supporters, Elena de la Pena. Elena was introduced to Envirolution through the local chapter of the American Association of University Women and was inspired by the impact that our programs have had on students by helping them gain valuable STEAM knowledge, skills, and experiences while making the environment a better place for generations to come. We cannot thank Elena enough for being a part of our mission and for supporting teachers and students throughout Nevada. You can become a monthly donor HERERead More →

Envirolution was excited to host a group of 23 high school boys from around the Reno area last month. The young men from the Boys Team Charity group assisted with multiple material preparation tasks for programs like Career Quest, Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, and Project ReCharge. As they say, many hands make light work, and these boys certainly made light work of the tasks they were given. Envirolution sends a big thank you to the Boys Team Charity! As always, if you’re looking for a way to give back to your community, check out the Envirolution volunteer sign-up below.Read More →
