Info

Our Education Program focuses on these areas of engagement: • School programs. Themed multiple visit programs delivered B.C.-wide for kindergarten to grade 12. • Teacher services. Networking and training opportunities, curriculum links, e-newsletters and other learning resources. • Youth Engagement Program. We manage a National Youth Engagement Program, creating opportunities and information sources for youth aged 13-19. Active In the Classroom…Our School Programs Since our inception, more than 45,000 students have participated in our highly interactive classroom programs. Specially designed to meet the needs of both teachers and students, each program is curriculum-linked, science-based, and centred on the principle of hands-on learning. All programs undergo a rigorous evaluation process, with input from both teachers and students. 2005 was remarkable for the positive impacts and activities resulting from our school-based programs. Students and teachers from across B.C. expressed overwhelming support. Ten different programs, with ongoing support and challenging stewardship action projects, were delivered to more than 460 enthusiastic classrooms – and almost every class we visited voiced interest in future visits. 16 In our Green Star! program youth learn all about the ecosystems of B.C. and the ways we can help.

National Youth Engagement Program Once again the BC Chapter managed the National Youth Engagement Program (YEP) for Green Street, a national organization that supports the delivery of accredited environmental education programs across Canada. Under our management, YEP engaged youth in on-going stewardship initiatives through a number of opportunities, including: • A Youth Action Centre website in English and French; • Internships ranging from banding birds to planning social justice camps; • Support for summer camps; • Monthly e-newsletter with opportunities and youth perspectives; and • A dynamic Youth Steering Committee made up of youth from across Canada. (These youth are given the opportunity to envision the future of youth engagement and help shape future functions of Green Street). 17
