2026-2027: Protect Our Planet Project
Coming SoonLater this summer, we’ll invite young people around the world to explore the water, land, and air around them, and use creativity to share their stories and vision for a thriving world. Through this project, students will explore, create, and share — and together, their voices and creativity will become a force for real change.

How It Works
The ProcessStudents Rebuild empowers young people ages 5-25 to take direct action and see firsthand how they can make a difference. The project is adaptable and can be scaled from a single lesson to a full year. We provide free resources to help you teach within whatever time and space you have.
Learn
Explore resources like lesson plans, art guides, and videos that help students explore who they are – their traits, experiences, and stories – and reflect on the shared humanity between individuals, cultures, and communities.
Create
Encourage students to express their vision for a more united world through their choice of literary, media, performing and visual arts, or STEM.
Share
Submit students’ creative works to Students Rebuild. Each submission or student engaged raises $5 to support organizations worldwide that foster connection and champion collaborative change, up to $1 million.

“Through Students Rebuild and different classes at our school, I’ve been able to expand my mind and know more about the world in general. Also, it’s sparked interest in what I want to pursue for the rest of my life.”
“I love how Students Rebuild allows my students to connect to not only students within their own community but to students in other countries across the globe. They loved that they could be a part of that.”
“I believe projects like this bridge the gap and make our global community that much smaller. You’re motivated to think about other people and see what you can do to improve a situation not just at home but somewhere else.”
