Get the children in your program engaged in the environment with a hands-on project they create and implement. The Captain Planet Foundation makes available grants, ranging from $250 to $2,500, for such projects.
Guidelines to be considered for a grant are that proposals must promote the understanding of environmental issues; focus on hands-on involvement; involve children ages 6 to 18; promote interaction and cooperation within the group; help children and youth develop planning and problem-solving skills; and include adult supervision. If awarded a grant, a commitment to follow-up communication with the Captain Planet Foundation also is required.
