About Us
Who we are & What we do
Captain Planet Foundation (CPF) is a non-profit organization based on the animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers. For 35 years, CPF has engaged and empowered young people to be problem-solvers for the planet.
Across the world, young people care deeply about their future on the planet. But too often their ideas, energy, and leadership remain disconnected from the systems where change happens. The Captain Planet Foundation unites these voices into a powerful global movement.
We fund youth-led projects, cultivate fearless leaders, amplify youth voices, mobilize resources, and unite partners around a shared mission: a climate-positive future.
Programs
Hands-on gardens, STEM challenges, & climate campaigns
An Elementary School Program
Project Learning Gardenâ„¢ is a holistic program that provides elementary schools with the essential elements to establish and sustain a garden.
A Middle School Program
Green Heart STEM Challenge empowers students (6th-8th grade) to identify environmental issues & implement solutions in their communities.
A Direct to Youth Program
Planeteer Alliance, helps young changemakers ages 10-25 develop fearless leadership and the skills required to solve climate issues in their communities, countries, and regions.
Our real life superhero
Ted Turner imagined a world where peace is our North Star, sustainability is our shared language, and collaboration, hope, and young people are our greatest tools in building a livable future for all.
President & CEO, Leesa Carter-Jones, spoke with NPR about Ted’s impact on young people, the environment, and philanthropy. Read the article.
In loving memory of Ted and his vision, Captain Planet Foundation will continue to be his living legacy with purpose, gratitude and joy. Rest in Power, Ted.
The Power is Yours.
