Our Goal



In learning about the environment through fun and challenging activities, KPE participants have the opportunity to become more informed students and community involved citizens. Our goal is to help children understand their unique personal importance and place in our environment. KPE focuses on the need for taking responsibility now in becoming involved in protecting our Earth.



Kids Protectors of the Environment (KPE) teaches children about environmental concerns around the world as well as close to home. Elementary and middle school students learn about endangered/threatened species, global warming, pollution, and other timely issues that can and will affect their future.



Parents are encouraged to support the KPE program at home. As children share their newly acquired knowledge with parent/caregivers and siblings, environmental responsibility becomes a family affair. KPE students and their families have participated in local recycle programs, household waste collection events, beach and river clean-ups, and tree re-planting projects.
