 The Green Ribbon School Pilot Project (GRS) gives students world-wide the opportunity to assess, and impact, the “greenness” of the environments in which they spend many hours of the week - their schools. Students are engaged through surveys developed by their peers. While being engaged locally, participants also obtain a global view through meaningful connections.
This is the third phase of The Green Ribbon School Project, initiated by St. John’s Episcopal School with input from schools around the globe, to recognize and encourage schools to meet certain environmental standards. The program will continue to evolve through your participation and input.
How to participate:
1. Any school world-wide can participate; the forms are easily accessible in the Research area (click here).
 2. To publish the results of your green initiatives, and connect with other schools making a difference, you are invited to participate in 4empowerment’s secured web area. If you are a teacher or education administrator and would like to participate please register. Upon verification, you will receive a special code to enroll and get cooking. Teachers already enrolled in 4empowerment, once signed in, can access the Green Ribbon School project through “Start a New Activity”.
