Mission:Earth Force engages young people as active citizens who improve the environment and their communities now and in the future.
It was founded in 1994 and offers several programs:
Community Action and Problem Solving (CAPS): Local Earth Force offices and affiliates offer Community Action and Problem Solving (CAPS), a program that trains and supports educators in the core Earth Force process. Local support helps educators connect to the community, creating hands-on learning experiences for youth.

Resources include the innovative Protecting Our Watersheds curriculum, testing kits and links and lessons for community action projects.
Earth Force After School: This program tailors the Earth Force process for out-of-school settings and gives facilitators a fun way to connect youth to their communities while reinforcing academic lessons learned during the school day. Training and support are offered nationwide.
