Inspire. Empower. Nurture.

Environmental apathy is the root cause of the climate crisis. Still, most of India’s largest demographic - the 260 million K-12 students complete school without connecting with nature and knowing the intricacies of climate change. That’s why YouCAN functions as a mission-driven non-profit organisation founded with the vision of an Earth Educator in every school and learning space in India. We improve opportunities for K-12 students to connect with nature locally and practice climate action during their formative years.

Earth Educators Fellowship

The Earth Educators Programme is a fellowship that brings together emerging environmentalists, school teachers and informal educators. They embark on a year-long journey to explore the natural world, curate immersive learning experiences for students, build skills, and a community to lead climate action in their locality. 

Nature Quest is a nature experience space and community learning centre at Hulical, Nilgiris, India. Set up in the woods overlooking the Western Ghats Mountains, it is a place for families to reconnect with nature and children to explore the wonders of the natural world. It spreads joy into the lives of young people, help them reflect, find themselves, and find a place for nature in their lives.

Hear what our Alumni say

“The fellowship was one of my best life choices yet. The gentle yet energetic team created a healthy environment where every participant could find their niche to approach the project in their own manner while maintaining the basic guidelines needed to be a good educator. They taught me to not be afraid of the path of my dream and to take chances, both of which have yielded fruitful results. I would recommend this program and its diversely beautiful people to anyone who is interested in nature, kids, communities, or all of them”
