EPA Celebrates the 2024 Winners of the President’s Environmental Youth Award
and the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators
WASHINGTON – Today, August 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
in partnership with the White House Council on Environmental Quality,
celebrated the 2024 President’s 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.
“Educators and students across our country make remarkable contributions
every day to protect the environment, and it’s an honor to celebrate them
today,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “These awardees set the
gold standard for environmental education as they implement innovative
approaches to protect human health and tackle climate change.”
“Environmental stewardship often begins in the classroom with young people
and educators who are taking our planet’s most pressing climate change and
environmental justice challenges head on,” said White House Council on
Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory. “This year’s awardees
represent passionate and dedicated leaders who are tackling the climate
crisis, improving public health, and delivering a more equitable future for
all.”
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.
Established by the 1990 National Environmental Education Act, the PIAEE
program supports, encourages, and nationally honors outstanding educators who
integrate environmental and place-based, experiential learning into school
curricula and school facility management across the country. The PIAEE program
supports the outstanding environmental projects performed by these innovative
teachers who go beyond textbook instruction to incorporate methods and
materials that utilize creative experiences and enrich student learning. The
program recognizes elementary and secondary (K-12) education teachers, school
administrators and their local education agencies, and provides funding to
help support those educators in their environmental education work.
