LAUNCH Project Toolkits

After kicking off the LAUNCH program back in September, we are so happy to report that at least 46 student teams are currently using our toolkits to take environmental action! We currently have over 20 exciting LAUNCH Eco-Toolkits that students can use right now for free! Our project based toolkits have received rave reviews by teachers and students, so if you know any students, educators, or parents who want to take environmental action immediately, send them LAUNCH using this URL: gradesofgreen.org/welcome-to-launch/ 

 

The RISE Climate Solutions Campaign

We're reaching the mid-point of this year's Climate Solutions Campaign where we have 48 teams taking part! We’re so excited that so many of our teams re-joined our Climate Solutions Campaign with the remainder jumping into LAUNCH. We are looking forward to our Mid-Year Webinar for students and our Team Facilitator Training.

The Mid-Year Webinar on February 5th allows our Eco-Leaders to interact virtually and share their projects with other students across the globe! The teams will dig deep into the next phases of the program, getting ready to take the projects they've been planning and turn them into environmental actions. They'll explore all the ins and outs of the final phases of the Climate Solutions Campaign and learn how they can succeed and earn an Eco-Grant.

Our Team Facilitator Training on February 1st is the second and final of the training webinars we provide to educators and parents for the 2021-2022 year. Similar to the Mid-Year Webinar, we'll be exploring the remaining phases of the Climate Solutions Campaign. This training has proven to be an extremely effective method for us to ensure our student teams not only complete our program, but also achieve more powerful environmental impact. This training is also a key element that our teachers need to complete to earn a stipend.
What Are Our Students Working On?
