Keep Indianapolis Beautiful
is committed to empowering youth and encouraging them to make a
difference in the their world.
The following links provide more
information about our youth services and how you, your school, your
youth organization and your community can get involved.
Project
Green Schools
(Formerly Partners in the Environment, PIE)
Project Green Schools educates and empowers teachers and their students
and families to beautify, revitalize, and create an outdoor classroom on
the land surrounding a Marion County school.
In
partnership with Purdue Extension —Marion County, 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 and to learn how to care for and
improve their community.
Each year, over 7,000 students at more than 40 schools transform their
school grounds through the Project Green Schools program.
KIB's Youth
Corps
The Youth Corps works as a team to preserve and maintain trees.
Specifically, we work in the outdoors to water, mulch, weed, prune,
and plant trees. The Youth Corps 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.
Environmental Lesson Plans
Keep Indianapolis Beautiful provides
environmental lesson plans at no cost. The lesson plans are taken from an
environmental curriculum for preschool to high school aged students with only
small modifications needed. Keep Indianapolis Beautiful highlights one of the 54
environmental lesson plans each month.
