Values
Teach
We seek to increase public awareness and understanding of earth stewardship as a sacred responsibility based on the doctrines, publications, teachings, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Testify
We provide the platform for fellow Latter-day Saints and others to share their stories and convictions of earth stewardship, both small and great.
Unify
We are an organization where people of all social and political persuasions can feel welcome.
Congregate
We believe many hands make light work and stewardship is more effective when it’s communal. So we connect people to social and service opportunities worldwide. We also sponsor service projects and educational forums that promote the understanding and practice of earth stewardship.
Celebrate
We believe preserving Earth’s integrity for future generations is an inclusive act and thus honor the diverse ways Latter-day Saints and others of faith care for God’s creations. We seek to support them regardless of where they are in their quest to be wise stewards.
Teach Earth Stewardship
Our goal is to increase public awareness and understanding of principles of earth stewardship based on the doctrines, publications, teachings, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Promote Earth Stewardship
We aim to publicize, celebrate, and promote exemplary earth stewardship initiatives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its subsidiaries, and members.
