Team Green

Eco Kids

It is more important than ever before that today’s children are educated on environmental issues and are provided with the tools to make at-home, sustainable, environmentally friendly choices. Project LEAD’s Team Green: Eco Kids curriculum empowers children to take ownership of their choices, make positive contributions to the environment, and to lead by example, beginning in their own classrooms, homes, and communities.

Project LEAD’s Team Green provides students the opportunity to explore a different timely environmental theme each lesson, giving them a rich overview of some of our most pressing environmental issues. As a part of Team Green, kids explore what they can do to help with the big topics such as water conservation, endangered species, oceans & plastic, ice caps & the ozone layer, carbon footprints, rainforests, and renewable versus nonrenewable energy sources just to name a few. Within each lesson, students learn about that lesson’s theme and major issue, how it affects the planet, and how it affects them. Through group discussions facilitated by their LEAD Educator, students explore their own ideas on what we can do as a society to work toward a resolution, learn what other countries are already doing, and discuss what each Eco Kid can do at home and at school to make a difference. Each lesson is concluded with a Call To Action in the form of a mini-project for students to take home and share with their families, friends, and communities, spreading awareness and applying leadership skills learned in the Team Green workshops.

With Project LEAD’s Team Green: Eco Kids, children are learning that they can have an immediate impact on some of the world’s biggest environmental issues by making small changes at home, whether that be recycling, turning the water off to brush their teeth, or not using plastic straws. Project LEAD’s Eco Kids are equipped with the tools to do anything from making an impact on their own carbon footprints, to becoming some of our next environmental LEADers with invaluable voices to share!
