Green Apple Day of Service | International sustainability movement of nearly a million volunteers

Join our movement

Green Apple started as a single day of service, engaging over 1 million volunteers in 80 countries over the span of 8 years. Now, bring everything they learned to your school and get started greening your campus. These resources will help you identify the topic you want to address on your campus, how to get started, and how to involve your students and community.

Supporting green, healthy schools during the COVID-19 pandemic

The pandemic disrupted the K-12 education system across the globe and curbed much of the hands-on work to improve school environments. To this day, we are seeing the impacts of the pandemic in our schools. To help you act in the midst of changing conditions, we put together lessons and activities to do from home or remotely to keep our students and our planet healthy.

Become a champion of healthy learning spaces

The Green Classroom Professional Course breaks down all of the actions that teachers and school staff can take to keep classrooms healthy and green, several of which directly relate to reducing the risk of COVID-19.

Help your school teach outside

Where outdoor air quality is healthy, the open air is one of the best ways to keep everyone healthy and safe. This project idea gives your learning community a head start in figuring out how to teach in the great outdoors.
