EDUCATION AND YOUTH
Keep Indianapolis Beautiful is committed to empowering youth and encouraging them to make a difference in the their world.
KIB Clubs
In partnership with Purdue Extension-Marion County, KIB Clubs (formerly Project Green Schools) provides 'hands-on' opportunities for students in tree plantings, creating wildlife habitats and gardens, litter abatement, recycling, and other environmental projects. KIB encourages youth to explore and understand challenges in the urban environment and to learn how to care for and improve their community. Schools are selected to participate in the program through the Project Green Schools application process. For more information, including application, visit the KIB Clubs page.
Youth Tree Team
The Youth Tree Team (YTT) works as a team to preserve and maintain trees. Specifically, we work in the outdoors to water, mulch, weed, prune, and plant trees. The YTT also trains at an adventure course, takes a wilderness camping trip, receives skill training from professional arborists, learns financial management skills, and earns a Tree Steward Certification. We accept applications each spring for YTT. Please visit the Youth Tree Team page for application and additional info.
