Urban Fields Foundation (UFF) is a nonprofit educational division operating within a broader organizational ecosystem focused on environmental education, sustainable technology, and community-based learning.
The Foundation exists to deliver school- and community-centered educational programming that supports environmental literacy, technical skill development, and workforce pathways for youth. UFF’s work emphasizes experiential learning, mentorship, and applied problem-solving aligned with educational standards and district priorities.
While Urban Fields Foundation operates within a larger ecosystem that includes technology and research initiatives, its school-based educational programs are designed to function independently, with decisions guided by student needs, educator input, and district policies.
The mission of Urban Fields Foundation is to advance environmental education, workforce development, and community resilience by providing hands-on learning opportunities in urban agriculture, environmental science, engineering, and sustainable technology.
Urban Fields Foundation operates as a nonprofit educational division within Great Web Garden Share, Inc., an organization focused on environmental innovation, learning systems, and community engagement.
Within this ecosystem, UFF maintains a distinct nonprofit educational role, focused exclusively on student programming, school partnerships, and community-based learning. Other initiatives within the ecosystem, including Our Verdant Earth (OVE) , develop educational tools and resources that may inform or support demonstrations or learning activities.
Participation in Urban Fields Foundation programs does not require the use, adoption, or purchase of any specific platform, product, or technology. Any external tools referenced during programming are optional, subject to school district approval, and used solely for educational or illustrative purposes.
Urban Fields Foundation is guided by the following principles:
Urban Fields Foundation operates under appropriate nonprofit governance and oversight in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. The Foundation maintains clear boundaries between educational programming and affiliated initiatives to ensure neutrality, compliance, and trust with school partners.
