Green Flag School Program – Start-Up Kit – Grades K-8
Coordinated by the Child Proofing Our Communities Campaign, The Green Flag Schools Program for Environmental Leadership provides a framework for schools to engage in environmental advocacy. Through the program, students learn environmental concepts, investigate their schools, and advocate for school-wide reforms to make their schools safer and healthier. Working as a team to complete classroom activities, presentations, and environmental audits, students learn practical life skills, such as problem solving, teamwork, and public speaking, to be used far beyond the classroom. With each positive step that schools take, students are presented an award, culminating in the Green Flag Award for Environmental Leadership. The Green Flag Start-Up Kit provides k-8 schools with all the information they need to get started on earning environmental awards, including a promotional poster for their first Green Flag Team meeting, fact sheets on school environmental issues, and the School Environment Survey, an audit of their school's environmental practices.
