What do they do?
The Enviroschools Foundation is a charitable trust that is working towards a vision of a generation of innovative and motivated young people, who instinctively think and act sustainably. Students develop skills, understanding, knowledge and confidence through planning, designing and creating a sustainable school.
How can I get involved?
If you want to help your school become more environmentally friendly and sustainable, you could get help from your teachers to help your school become an ‘Enviroschool’. Check out the website for more info.
Another way to get involve is ‘ Youth Jam’. This is an annual event run by Enviroschools in Rotorua. Bringing together around 250 people from all around Aotearoa, Youth Jam is a ‘Youth Teaching Youth’ event where workshops are run by students, for students. There are also expert panels, action days in the local community, and performers (2008 was Batucada Sound Machine). Check out the Enviroschools website for an application form.
