GREEN SCHOLARS
Educating our youth on how to practice sustainability with direction and purpose
Green Scholars - Our award-winning project-based learning curriculum is built on the foundations of project management, leadership, and sustainability. Students undertake a hands-on project with real-world outcomes that directly benefit schools, districts and/or communities.
The Green Scholars program is a project-based, honors-level middle and high school program encompassing four domains: environmental literacy, professional skills, and project and program management. The curriculum is designed to be effective for kids who thrive with hands-on learning. It also creates opportunities for students to find what interests them and increases engagement with their school. Ultimately, Green Scholars seeks to inspire and enable students to create change in their communities while building a foundation of knowledge that will enable them to do so.
