Beginner Level

Environmental Citizenship is an asynchronous learning enrichment course that dives deep into topics about environmental education that is developmentally appropriate for young learners between ages of 6-10 years old. This enrichment course is a great opportunity for kids to learn more about how they can become agents of change and help protect our planet! They will become aware of their capacity to contribute their efforts and interests to make a positive impact on our world. This course gently guides learners to become an active steward of our planet by means of taking personal agency for their learning and awareness. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and kids interested in nature and our environment will have fun in this self-pace online learning course.

This 12-week course will foster children's developing mindsets about environmental education, building upon awareness of our planet, leading to elements of compassion, empathy, and empowerment.

Children will be introduced to concepts of environmental education by means of developmentally age-appropriate topics of:

• Environmental Literacy: Mindfulness of earth’s resources, participating in work with worksheets and posters. Activities include learning about what a carbon footprint is and discovering your own!

• Eco- Art Making: Creating art in an eco-conscientious format using natural & recycled materials- make unique sculptures, reusable items from recycled materials.

• Nature Conservancy: Learning about native plants & animals, make bug motels, mini worm bins and learn how to recognize native plants and pollinators while hiking on a trail or taking a nature walk.

• Environmental Advocacy- Stewardship activities to foster empathy towards natural life and a love for our planet. Plant a tree seedling, pick up trash and recycle, recycle at home, become a change agent and advocate for planet Earth!

This course will include audio-visual integration of lessons by means of videos, power point slides, worksheets and poster campaigns, creative artmaking with recycled materials, activities, and projects.

* Parental Guidance might be needed for use of scissors and preparing supplies and materials for projects.

Course concludes with a special printable badge for each learner to wear proudly for their participation in this environmental citizenship course and a certificate of completion.
