President's Environmental Youth Awards
Since 1971, EPA has sponsored the Presidents Environmental
Youth Awards. The program recognizes young people across America for projects
which demonstrate their commitment to the environment. Young people in all 50
states and the U.S. territories are invited to participate in the program. Projects
submitted in the past have covered a wide range of subject areas including recycling
programs in schools and communities; construction of nature preserves; major tree
planting programs; videos, skits, and newsletters created by students that focused
on environmental issues; and environmental science projects. To be eligible to
compete, a student or students, sponsored by an adult, must submit to their local
EPA regional office evidence of a completed project as defined in the President's
Environmental Youth Award application, as well as a completed application. Office
