For young people

Everyone can make a difference. Find out about our environmental activities and programs for young people.

Helping kids and teens connect with nature

When given the opportunity, students can learn the value of making a positive contribution to their wider community and develop skills that will assist them in their careers and other aspects of their lives. Co-designing with students is incorporated in Sustainable Schools planning and management processes.

Green Adelaide can support you to meaningfully involve students in a range of ways to:

  • increase students' engagement

  • foster collaboration between students and their teachers

  • build respectful relationships, connections and belonging

  • create and maintain a positive environment and culture

  • develop personal and social capabilities.

We run and support many nature education programs for young people aged between 5 and 17 years old. Find out more about them below.
