Earth Day Network Grant Programs
As we approach the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day in April 2010, Earth Day Network is working to build on the success of our Green Schools Campaign by conducting extensive lighting efficiency swap-outs and solar panel system installations at K-12 schools around the country. In addition to these physical upgrades, we will work with teachers and administrators to tie these school enhancements to classroom lessons and community events in order to provide learning experiences for students, faculty and parents. Members of our Educators’ Network are eligible to receive support and donations to carry out green upgrades and educational programs at their schools.

Climate Change Educator |
EDN's ground-breaking National Civic Education Project (NCEP) gives teachers the structure and support to combine classroom civic and environmental education with hands-on learning experiences that provide an opportunity for students to remedy local environmental concerns. In our pilot effort during 2005-2006, NCEP scored an impressive victory, being credited with convincing the Cincinnati School Board to adopt green building standards for a $1 billion state refurbishment bond for schools. |

In partnership with the Campus Climate Challenge, a project of the Energy Action Coalition, EDN provides stipends and year-long support to Climate Change Educators to win global warming victories at schools nationwide. During 2007-2008, a Climate Change Educator in Washington State worked with students to create a Cool Schools Challenge, an effort that has helped over 20 schools reduce climate emissions and won the prestigious President's Environmental Youth Awards. Join us in creating a clean energy future!
