The President’s Environmental Youth Award Program is now accepting nominations for the 2017 winners.  The deadline is March 1.

The President’s Environmental Youth Award recognizes outstanding environmental projects by K-12 youth and promotes awareness of our nation's natural resources and encourages positive community involvement.

In 2016, the Park Forest Elementary Zero Waste Team from Centre County and Rohan Chalasani, a student at Fox Chapel High School in Pittsburgh were among the recipients of the President’s Award. (Photo)

Since 1971, the President of the United States has joined with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to recognize young people for protecting our nation's air, water, land, and ecology.

It is one of the most important ways EPA and the Administration demonstrate commitment to environmental stewardship efforts created and conducted by our nation's youth.
