Each year at the Groundswell Student Project Showcase, we recognize educators who go above and beyond in their commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. These teachers lead impactful, place-based projects that inspire students and create lasting, positive change. To honor their work, we present two awards: the Sprout Award, celebrating emerging educators making a strong early impact, and the Swell Award, recognizing veteran teachers whose long-term leadership strengthens both students and communities. Their efforts embody the mission of Groundswell and help cultivate the next generation of environmental stewards.
