Green Leadership Grants

The Green Leadership Grants (GLG) program is designed to empower students participating in the Dream in Green Academy’s environmental education programs by providing grants to support Green Team’s ‘green’ initiatives that require additional financial resources. Students in kindergarten to 12th grades learn to brainstorm ideas, manage budgets, work as a team, and execute projects that will have a long-lasting impact on the environment.

GLG can be submitted by teachers, but initiatives must be student-led. The Green Team must brainstorm ideas, manage budgets, work as a team, and execute projects that will have a long-lasting impact on the environment.

Grant Categories:

- Monthly Challenge Grants (from October to April): Dream in Green will award $350 grants to support monthly challenge activities and to support eco-summits that showcase students' "green" projects to the entire school and wider community.
