Kids and teens who earn a Clean Green Power Certificate help their neighbors see that clean renewable power is here now and is growing. To earn a certificate, kids, teens, and adult leaders learn together with a visit to a local clean energy site (sites provided in Massachusetts), meet and interview a person who has made smart energy choices, create a project, and spread the good news! Projects range from crafts, displays, experiments, brochures, film, and community service to name a few.

NESEA is offering supporting funds of $25 to $250 to Massachusetts youth and youth organizations to either, (1) establish a long-term public display on renewable energy, or (2) establish a renewable energy education kit in a youth organization’s lending library.

Kids and teens working toward a Wind Wisdom or Clean Green Energy Certificate will be given top priority.
