The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 awarded a $133,333 Project Grant under the Environmental Education Grants Program (CFDA 66.951) to the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE) to implement an environmental education project. This project will design, demonstrate, and disseminate environmental education practices, methods, and techniques that increase environmental literacy and encourage pro-environmental behaviors in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. Key activities include creating online career resources, organizing a virtual youth green careers summit, engaging students in school-based action projects, and connecting students with mentors to explore green careers. CAEE will also award $25,000 (25%) of the grant funds as subawards of $500-$2,000 to schools located in disadvantaged communities to support their participation. Expected outcomes include increased student engagement in green career exploration, student-led action projects addressing climate and environmental issues, and enhanced educator skills in teaching about climate and environmental topics.
