Clubs- A New Type of Environmental Club
Our club model, structured as an extra-curricular school club, is an entrepreneurial program in bringing green to the youth where they spend the most time: at school. Envirolution realizes that we can deliver solutions by turning green ideas into learning experiences, creating positive models for developing skills that will apply to students' future education and careers. All youth, no matter their skills or interests are capable of contributing to a more sustainable community. Envirolution seeks to tap into the unlimited amount of energy, innovation, and creativity that youth possess. Envirolution wants them to look at their schools and communities, evaluate the main issues, assess their skills and interests, and then create projects that stimulate them and address the issues.
Our clubs aim to do the following:
- Remedy the problem of a gap between the youth’s desire to act and opportunities for action,
- Provide an open platform for students from all disciplines, including art, music, writing and literature, science, math, philosophy, graphic arts, business etc. to get involved in the movement,
- Introduce students to the expanding opportunities in the growing green economy,
- Begin training the necessary workforce that will be needed for America to be able to analyze, assess, and create solutions for the issues we face,
- Build a community connecting businesses to college students to high school students to elementary schools around the issue of sustainability,
- Capture the attention of diverse groups of youth across the country and show them that they have a leadership role to play in creating change, and
- Provide opportunities for students to gain first hand experience with sustainability and begin to understand this often-complex concept.
In addition, and very unique for this type of club, they won’t be isolated campaigns at each high school or university; instead they will be linked to the growing main organization, Envirolution, that is in the process of putting together exciting campaigns and programs for the Club members to participate in. They will also be connected to other clubs through the website and can share ideas, information, resources, and success stories.
