This grant provides support to the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education (MAEOE) to increase the number of MAEOE Green Schools, increase the number of environmental educators who will provide MAEOE Green School training, support professional development and activities that incorporate environmental best practices in Maryland schools, and support statewide MAEOE Green School events.
The Maryland Green Schools Program is a sustainable schools solution designed to integrate hands-on, inquiry-based instruction. The program is meant to empower youth to practically apply knowledge at school, home, and in their communities to reduce environmental impact and encourage sustainable practices. In Maryland, all Pre-K to grade 12 public and independent schools are eligible to apply for the Maryland Green Schools award program that provides recognition for schools' efforts to enhance environmental sustainability.
