President´s Environmental Youth Award (PEYA)
The 2008 application deadline has been extended to Dec. 31!
The President´s Environmental Youth Award (PEYA) promotes local environmental awareness and inspires students to be a force within their communities. PEYA is the Environmental Protection Agency´s way of encouraging students ages 5 through 18 to participate in a community project that has a positive environmental impact. Young people can work individually or in groups; each project requires a responsible adult sponsor. EPA will prepare a certificate signed by the President for each participant.
EPA collects all applications submitted throughout the year and selects a regional project as winner from grades K-12 for each of the ten EPA Regions. October 31 is the deadline for submitting applications, but they may be submitted throughout the year.
Projects submitted in the past have covered a wide range of subjects including recycling programs in schools and communities; construction of natural preserves; major tree planting programs; environmental science projects; and videos, skits, and newsletters created by students that focused on environmental issues.
