Learning Is for Everyone
At Eco3, we talk a lot about building equitable, sustainable communities. What that actually looks like in practice is people, neighbors, volunteers, students, retirees, and people of all ages coming together to learn, grow, and build a welcoming and inclusive community for all ages. That idea is at the heart of something bigger happening right here in Duluth.
