Internet Safety Tips
Involved, engaged parents are vital partners in furthering our mission! We need your help and support to encourage
the next generation of future scientists, economists, and green technology leaders, as well as helping every kid to
be a good steward of the earth. Below are some ideas on how you can assist.
Start an EcoClub at Your Child’s School
Unfortunately very few schools have an environmental club or other related outlets for
interested students. Join KidsEcoClub (KEC) to establish and support an on-campus KEC
Club at your child’s school. KEC’s website will host and support both after school
environmental club websites and classroom club websites. In the near future, each will
be able to customize their website by color, name and content. Customized content will
include pictures, video, articles, newsletters, events, fund-raising goals/status,
forums and blogs. The creation and support of clubs is a driving program within the KEC
organization and a program that has the potential to reach hundreds of thousands of Kids,
thereby resulting in a significant impact on the eco-consciousness and environmental
education of K-12 students.
School KEC Clubs are a fun way to bring students, parents and teachers together in a common
mission to help the environment. For example, KEC Clubs can:
- Bring naturalists, artists, scientists, engineers, business leaders and other professionals
to your school to lead nature walks, field trips, art lessons, lecture and organize projects.
- Conduct school energy audits.
- Start campus wide recycling efforts.
- Increase the collective eco-consciousness of students and educators.
- Participate in field trips.
- Receive leadership training.
- Access innovative social media to connect clubs and classrooms across town and the country.
KidsEcoClub will provide support for club formation, environmental activities and projects, resource lists,
sample agendas, sample projects and access to volunteers.
