Opening Minds and Hearts through Nature
Giving Galápagos children opportunities to wonder, explore, learn together and grow their connection to the place they call home.
Surrounded by ocean. Not always connected to it.
For many local children, growing up in Galápagos still means limited opportunities to access, explore and experience the ocean.
We believe conservation begins with connection. When children have meaningful opportunities to learn from nature — to wonder, observe and discover — they come to know the place they call home in a different way.
People love what they know, and protect what they love.
Galápagos Infinito Program
Our flagship program brings place-based Oceanic Classrooms to 7th-grade students across the four inhabited islands of Galápagos — combining coastal exploration, learning at sea and reflection to build ocean literacy, nurture curiosity and connection, and strengthen each child’s sense of agency in caring for the place they call home.
