Join the Fight Against Global Warming:
In Your Community

In addition to making a difference in the fight against global warming at home and at work, you can also join EPA in making a difference in your community. We are proud to have partnered with Boys and Girls Clubs of America and PTO Today to reach out to America's youth and encourage them to get out and "Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR." Stay tuned as we share projects that grow out of these partnerships as well as allow you to share your own project ideas.

Boys and Girls Club of America

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICA is a national organization with the goal of encouraging youth to be more physically active and encourage positive, healthy and playful lifestyles. They serve 4.8 million youth nationally, through 4,300 regional clubs. Most Boys and Girls Club members are between the ages of 7–15.

Boys and Girls Clubs have produced several successful national campaigns with partners, including a partnership called The Big Green Help which encourages energy efficiency. They are skilled in activating youth nationally to participate in community service projects. As a partner with EPA’s "Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR" campaign, Boys and Girls Clubs of America will support at least 50 regional Boys and Girls Clubs participating in projects in their own communities, including community energy efficiency initiatives, home energy audits, energy fairs, and other youth-driven activities.

The events will educate and involve youth in a meaningful way in the ENERGY STAR campaign, plus result in measurable energy savings and testimonial, which can be shared with other Clubs regions and youth organizations to encourage other youth to take action on energy efficiency.
