Green Youth Awards Program
In 2002, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency created the Green
Youth Award. The Green Youth Award is an annual awards program that recognizes
the outstanding and innovative efforts of youth in Illinois who are working
on environmental and conservation friendly projects.
To be eligible for a Green Youth Award, projects must involve one or
more of the following categories: waste reduction, prevention or reduction
of pollution in the air (climate change/global warming), land or water
restoration, preservation or enhancement of natural areas; and energy
or water efficiency.
Individuals or youth currently enrolled in K-12 schools, scouts, 4-H
or other groups, and who have participated in an environmental project
started no earlier than 2007, are eligible to apply.
