Educational workshops
Our core offering. Small-group, hands-on sessions on composting, recycling, energy, water, and gardening. Each runs 60 to 90 minutes and leaves participants having practised a real technique.

Ways to learn with Ofor.
We offer several routes into environmental education, each shaped for a different audience and setting. Whether you learn best in a workshop, a classroom, or at your own kitchen table, there is a way in.
Community presentations
Shorter talks for libraries, community centres, and public events. These introduce a single topic to a general audience and point people toward deeper resources afterwards.
Online learning resources
For those who cannot attend in person, our website hosts free guides, checklists, and planners covering every topic we teach, written to be used independently at home.
Family education
Sessions designed for parents and children to attend together, turning sustainability into a shared household project rather than a set of rules handed down to kids.
School partnerships
We work with teachers to align presentations with classroom curricula, supplying handouts and follow-up activities that extend learning beyond a single visit.
Volunteer training
A structured program that prepares community members to support events, lead clean-up days, and assist at workshops with confidence and clear guidance.
How it works
From first contact to lasting habit
Arranging a program with us is straightforward. Here is what to expect.
01
Get in touch
Tell us who you are — a school, a community group, a family, or an individual — and what you're hoping to learn or host.
02
Plan together
We discuss format, group size, and topics, then adapt an existing program or shape a new one around your needs.
03
Attend or host
We deliver the session in person or support you in running it, providing all materials and guidance required.
04
Keep learning
Every participant leaves with free take-home resources and an invitation to continue through our Learning Center and events.
Volunteer training
Help your community learn
Our volunteers are the reason we can reach as many people as we do. The training program is open to anyone, requires no background in environmental science, and prepares you thoroughly for whatever role suits you best.
Training covers the fundamentals of the topics we teach, practical facilitation skills, event safety, and how to communicate clearly with people of all ages. Once trained, you choose how and when to contribute — from a single clean-up day to regular workshop support.
