Train officers, run meetings, and coordinate projects that build confidence and ownership.
Age-appropriate sessions on climate science, local impacts, and practical everyday choices.
Run cleanups, tree plantings, recycling drives, and awareness campaigns on campus.
Short, structured meetups with learning bites, planning, and quick wins to keep momentum high.
Poster drives, classroom talks, and social challenges to spread climate-smart habits.
Cleanups, audits, and conservation activities coordinated with teachers and local partners.
Teacher sponsor signs up; students elect officers; kickoff meeting sets goals and roles.
Regular meetings, micro-lessons, and on-campus actions supported by SHADEF resources.
Celebrate impact with a term-end reflection, badges, and a highlight story.
