Its faculty and staff provide expanded collegiate, field-based learning opportunities for students attending over 50 colleges and universities within the christian academy, and they mentor graduate students as they investigate the intersections of christian faith, environmental science, and praxis. A number of students are trained as environmental education interns, who in turn teach elementary school children about the wonders of god's creation in their communities.
To develop leaders to serve god's world through education, restoration, and witness. This is accomplished primarily through: offering college courses in environmental science; offering an environmental education program to local school children; offering a conference and retreat program; and performing outreach to community organizations, colleges, churches and the public.

“The form 990 is reviewed by the executive director and board treasurer. The treasurer then presents the form 990 to the full board of trustees for their review and acceptance.”
“Every trustee must complete and sign the board adopted conflict of interest statement on an annual basis. These are reviewed by the chair of the board and the executive director to ensure compliance. Normally, signing takes place at the first board meeting of the calendar year.”
“The compensation for the executive director is determined by performance and comparables, such as comparisons to aaup data for administrators at midwest colleges and universities as well as non-profit executives in west michigan. The review of the executive director is performed by the executive committee of the board.”
“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon written request, subject to review and approval by the board chair. The treasurer is the chairperson of the audit committee and oversees the annual review of the organization. The board of trustees is charged with the selection of a disinterested third party accountant.”
“The internal revenue service (irs) has determined the institute to be exempt from federal tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the institute qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under section 509(a)(2). Therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the accompanying financial statements. The institute files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the institute is no longer subject to u. S. Federal examinations by tax authorities for years before september 30, 2015. The institute has not had any business income unrelated to its exempt purpose and, therefore, has not filed income tax returns in any jurisdiction.”
