SFOA’s mission is to educate youth across the country
about sustainable living and green careers
Sustainable Future Outdoor Academy organizes career education field trips in concert with local sustainable businesses, taking students outdoors into the field to find out what green careers are really like by seeing business operations up close, speaking with owners or executives and employees, and getting in-depth with tastings, demos, and other hands-on activities.

Green Careers Field Trips
We work directly with local industry professionals, small business owners, and community-based partners to weave Career Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) concepts into sustainability focused, hands-on Middle School and High School field trip experiences which introduce students to green careers and careers in green industries.
Green Careers
Current demand for talent in green jobs & industries is not being met, and it is projected to grow significantly as we transition to a more sustainable world. Raising youth awareness about green careers is critical to meeting this demand.
Beyond Job Fairs
More than a quick meet and greet, Green Careers Field Trips explore Green Careers when and where they’re happening, learning real workflows and interacting directly with owners or executives and their employees.
