We empower youth, especially from new immigrant communities, through meaningful outdoor experiences that educate about the world’s environmental challenges. Today’s youth hold the potential to change the world for the better. By preaching the importance of sustainability and environmental-friendly practices, we can create a greener future.
As the Earth continues to warm and humans continue to exploit our natural resources, our environments are suffering and quickly disappearing. Therefore, it is more important than ever to prepare the next generation to be environmentally conscious.
In recent years, I’ve devoted a significant amount of time to engaging with new immigrant communities in Maryland. Whether it’s through participating in club volleyball, coaching volleyball, volunteering to raise awareness about COVID vaccines, or assisting my father with community chores, I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in the rich culture and way of life of the Hispanic community. Yet, during this immersion, I’ve also noticed a significant gap in access to quality education, particularly when it comes to environmental awareness. Facing language, cultural, and financial barriers, new immigrants are often unfortunately left out of sustainability efforts.
EcoHorizons reaches out to underrepresented youth across Maryland and beyond, educating about nature conservation, pollution, and climate change through free, hands-on experiences. From composting and recycling demonstrations in local neighborhoods to Adopt-A-Road initiatives, we instill sustainable practices in the youth and families we impact. By arming the young generation with the tools and knowledge needed to fight the environmental crisis, we create hope for a greener, more equitable future.
We are a group of passionate young adults committed to promoting environmental awareness in new immigrant communities.
We turn sustainable habits into second nature, ensuring that sustainability doesn’t just become a trend but rather a way of life.

Oftentimes, when we think of sustainable ways to protect the environment, we assume they are less cost-effective than our traditional “bad” practices. While switching to renewable energy, eating organic produce, or buying an electric car is indeed more
Architects believe that they have a unique responsibility to make conscious decisions about the products they create and how they impact the environment. With growing concern about climate change, sustainable design becomes more important than ever for designers to care about. So, more and more architects pay attention on this matter.
