President's Environmental Youth Award

The deadline for submitting applications has been extended to Wednesday December 31, 2008.
President's Environmental Youth Award

The President's Environmental Youth Award national program recognizes the environmental efforts and accomplishments of students in grades K-12.

Each student who participates in the program receives a certificate of accomplishment signed by the President of the United States. Each EPA region then chooses one regional winner and those students are recognized in a national ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Projects completed in the past have included implementation of recycling programs in schools and communities, construction of nature preserves, tree-planting initiatives, and completion of environmental science projects, among many others!
