WHO WE ARE
About the GCV Education Fund
We envision a future where Georgians are informed and empowered to effectively advocate for climate and environmental justice. Our mission is to organize and mobilize Georgians to advance climate and environmental justice through education, advocacy, and other forms of civic engagement.
The GCV Education Fund is part of a family of organizations that includes Georgia Conservation Voters and the Georgia Conservation Voters Action Fund.
What We Do
Advancing Justice Across Georgia
We train, educate, and mobilize Georgians to hold decision-makers accountable for our air, water, energy, and democracy.
Clean Energy for All
Empowering Georgians to demand clean energy solutions by holding elected officials and utility giants accountable: taking on unfair rate hikes, backroom energy deals, and the unchecked expansion of dirty energy.
Democracy for All
We believe in changing Georgia from the ground up. That’s why we train and mobilize Georgians to advance climate and environmental justice through civic engagement.
