Earthville is a global community of local initiatives to create a more compassionate and sustainably thriving world through service learning, green social entrepreneurship, holistic personal development, and creativity.
Our world is changing quickly in ways both helpful and harmful. We can’t fix everything, but we can’t keep breaking it either. Each of us can make a difference with informed compassion, reducing our harm footprint and expanding our help footprint, and cultivating nurturing relationships in our communities.
Here in Earthville, we work toward a better world by educating ourselves as responsible global citizens, empowering ourselves as effective change agents, and connecting with one another other in creative collaborations for experiential learning, volunteer service, compassionate commerce, and altruistic arts.
The challenges we face are complex and interdependent, so they require holistic solutions. Earthville’s interdisciplinary approach considers the whole picture to engineer whole solutions for the whole person and the whole planet.
