Education
Education is fundamental in all that we do.
In addition to educating our residents and students, Keep Pinellas Beautiful also engages and empowers them to become active environmental stewards. Our educational program provides presentations, outreach education services, and experiential learning opportunities to residents of all ages on environmental topics that are relevant to our county. We tailor the presentations to meet the needs of the group. KPB provides free presentations to schools, businesses, and civic organizations, to share our impact on our environment and offer ways to help us to keep Pinellas and our world beautiful.
Educational Presentations
KPB hosts educational presentations for schools and community organizations. These topics can be presented virtually or in person,: in-class, after-school, and/or through field trips. We even offer a whole suite of online educational videos. Our education topics coincide with KPB’s focal areas of litter prevention, waste reduction, conservation, and beautification.
VolunTeens Program
This program gives middle and high school students the opportunity to ear community service hours through participation in KPB hands-on projects and waste reduction initiatives while simultaneously improving their community.
Youth Advisory Council
This youth leadership program provides the tools and skills for high school students to act as representatives of our affiliate among their peers and community. Students on this council create and implement KPB-sponsored programming designed to educate and engage other youth in the community in environmental stewardship.
High School Chapter
Your high school service or environmental club can partner with KPB to become a High School Chapter. Through this partnership, KPB will offer your club community service and educational opportunities to help students develop environmental awareness and learn valuable skills in leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Eco-Experiences
Hands-on environmental education experiences include our bi-annual Kids Can events for elementary students, Ambassador Programs, our summer High School Environmental Leadership Workshops, and more! We also offer virtual learning eco-opportunities including our Environmental Leadership Online Course and Environmental Tic-Tac-Toe.
