EPA Celebrates the 2023 Winners for the Presidential Environmental Youth Award
and the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators
WASHINGTON (Aug. 3, 2023) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
in partnership with the White House Council on Environmental Quality,
celebrated the 2023 Presidential Environmental Youth Award (PEYA) and the
Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators (PIAEE) Awards
Ceremony. This ceremony marks an annual recognition of outstanding youth who
are dedicated to environmental stewardship and impressive teachers who have
contributed significantly to environmental education.
“We are thrilled to have this moment each year to celebrate such incredible
leaders who promote environmental awareness through education in profound
ways,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Climate change is one of
the most pressing challenges we face today, and these students and teachers
are rising to the occasion and showing us what it means to fight for a cleaner
planet and healthier future.”
“We all have a role to play in tackling our planet’s most pressing
environmental challenges, and education is the foundation for environmental
stewardship and innovation,” said White House Council on Environmental
Quality Chair Brenda Mallory. “Congratulations to these outstanding students
and educators – your determination and creativity show us that a more
sustainable and equitable future is on the horizon.”
Since 1971, the President of the United States has joined with EPA to
recognize young people for protecting our nation’s air, water, land, and
ecology. The PEYA program recognizes outstanding environmental stewardship
projects developed by K-12 youth.
This program honors and brings to light a wide variety of projects developed
by these young students, school classes and clubs, youth camps, and youth
organizations to promote environmental awareness and action in their schools
and communities. The PEYA program promotes awareness of our nation’s natural
resources and encourages positive community involvement.
PIAEE is another program recognizing outstanding K-12 teachers who employ
innovative approaches to environmental education and use the environment as a
context to engage their students. With each teacher providing informal
hands-on environmental education to students, helping to advance their
knowledge of real-world environmental issues while at the same time allowing
the teachers to bring creative ways into the classroom to teach their students
about the environment.
