GREEN

Welcome to the Global Rivers Environmental Education Network

 

                   

 

The Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN) seeks to engage young people as active citizens who improve conditions in their watersheds now and in the future.  GREEN empowers young people to learn more about the watersheds they live in and use their findings to create lasting solutions to pressing water quality issues.

 

The GREEN program is focused on providing middle and high school students with opportunities to acquire essential academic skills including critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving and decision making, all while actively engaging in their communities around water quality issues. To do so, educators use an award-winning curriculum, Protecting Our Watersheds, and rely on the support of GREEN staff to correlate these experiences to required learning standards.

 

GREEN also works to connect educators to outstanding local partners to assist with water quality monitoring, classroom support, community connections and event coordination. These partnerships provide educators with access to innovative resources such as a network of national and community support, online resources, technical manuals, activity guides and water quality monitoring equipment.   GREEN Program Manager
