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!
