Mission Statement

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

GreenSeeds Music is a society of artists, and teachers collaborating to inspire children and youth to express love and care for nature through the arts.

The purpose of the Society is to raise awareness about environmental problems by encouraging children and youth to think about healthier, more sustainable ways of living.

The Society aims to highlight the need for these changes in two ways: by co-creating with children and youth environmentally themed resources, and by engaging children and youth in various age-appropriate activities using the arts, multimedia, and hands-on projects that incorporate green techniques and practices.
