The Nature Generation (NatGen) is an environmental nonprofit that inspires and empowers youth to make a difference in their communities as stewards of the environment. We reach our nation’s youth through innovative programs in literature, science, and the arts. Our mission to Read Green, Think Green, and Act Green drives all NatGen initiatives. In 2024, we will celebrate our 20th anniversary of action and of honoring the best in environmental literature for children and young adults through our nationally recognized Green Earth Book Award. NatGen also offers small grants to organizations and individuals that use Green Earth Book Award books in a project at a school, museum, or community group.
