Friends of the Earth's Youth & Education Network
25 May 2011

Our Youth and Education Network is a national network of local group members with an interest in young people and environmental education.

The Youth and Education network is run by local group members for local group members.

  • Members go into schools and youth clubs all over the country, talking about environmental topics that they think are important and enthusing young people.
  • We have resources we can send out, guides about what to do, standard letters and forms to make it easier for you.
  • We can give advice by email or on the end of a phone.
  • We send out newsletters with ideas, resources and news. 
  • We also have an online Youth & Education hub where we can network and share ideas.
  • We have training days. 
  • A website is being developed with all of our resources on it.
  • We put schools and youth clubs in touch with members of the network if they contact us.
  • We do free CRB checks for all members of the network.

Young people are our future - Get them involved!
