Students Rebuild is operated and funded by the Bezos Family Foundation, a private, independent foundation based in Seattle. Guided by the belief that all young people deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential and meaningfully contribute to society, the Foundation invests in the science of learning and the experiences that young people from birth through high school need to learn and thrive.
Matching funds for each Challenge are donated by the Foundation and given to benefiting partners. Each partner is carefully vetted at the outset of each Challenge for their capacity to make lasting impact in the communities they serve.
Part art project, part philanthropy, part immersion in global learning, Students Rebuild Challenges connect students worldwide in a common effort to make a difference.
This years challenge is called the Extraordinary Earth Project where students from around the world are invited to ‘learn about our environment, and the things we can do to protect our earth‘. Although global environmental issues like climate change affect us all, different parts of the world are impacted in diverse ways. Our goal is to encourage students to be thoughtful about how our actions affect both the ecosystems in our backyard and the planet.
In order to raise money for this, you need to create art using found objects in nature to channel
sustainability into beautiful works of art.
BE CREATIVE: Use any artistic medium, from painting, digital artwork, poetry, murals and photography — the world needs YOUR art to tackle our climate crisis!
Whatever you do, make it fun!

Please give your original artwork to Miss Jones in P08 or send a photo of it to [email protected].
