Developing the Next Generation of Environmental Leaders!

I am an individual student or teacher looking to apply for end of year pins and certificates.

How do I earn an end of year pin and certificate?

K- 12 members pledge 20 hours of environmental service to their school and community, and are encouraged to do more hours if they work on multiple projects. Students should have a combination of environmental service and environmental education hours. Your honor pin is based on the number of hours submitted at the end of your school year.

In order to receive pins, students and/or classes are required to complete and submit their end of year paperwork ONLINE:

End of Year Report (IGSS End Of Year Report) - Download, type in your information and uploaded through online form.
Service Hour Tracking Sheet - depending on the grade level this can be done as a class or on an individual basis (Download, enter your hours and upload through online form)
All documentation (end of year report and tracking sheet) is collected and uploaded through our ONLINE application and is due by April 15th, 2019.
Once documentation is received pins will be mailed and a certificate template will be emailed and available for download for Advisors. Students not involved with a club or class can work directly with our Director of Student Engagement to obtain their certificate and pin.
