Bringing Kansas City Kids Back to Nature

Empowering Our Youth to Thrive Outdoors

Dedicated to connecting kids with nature, fostering environmental stewardship, and empowering them to grow through outdoor experiences and mentorship.

Our Children Need Nature

Let's Get More Of Them Outside!

Kids are spending more time than ever indoors, on screens, and isolated from their peers. What’s more, many families living in low-income neighborhoods don’t have safe, nearby access to nature.

Green Works knows that kids need nature, and for almost two decades, we have nurtured Kansas City kids by getting them outside and teaching them to care for the environment in a social setting with peers and positive adult role models.

Donate now and join us in combatting nature deprivation in Kansas City kids.
