Thrive Ithaca EcoVillage Education Center
Sustainability education at the EcoVillage at Ithaca, a living laboratory for intentional community & ecological resilience.
For over 30 years, the EcoVillage at Ithaca has been part of a global movement shaping a sustainable future. We believe that today’s complex global challenges — climate change, social and economic injustice, biodiversity loss, and the loneliness epidemic — are best addressed at the local level. Working together with our neighbors, we are experimenting with intentional ways of living and learning as part of the Great Turning - through shared governance, mutual aid, regenerative agriculture, and green energy and infrastructure. Thrive Ithaca EcoVillage Education Center shares the lessons learned in our community to inspire the next generation of sustainability change makers. We provide experiential education programs for students, researchers, and design professionals, as well as individuals and groups in all phases of intentional community exploration and development.
