For Teachers and Educators

The Take Charge! Program offers high school students leadership, communication skills, and energy efficiency strategies, while making an impact within their local communities through service learning.

Teachers can include Take Charge! into their existing science curriculum to help meet many of the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) Guidelines for Excellence by enabling student learners to take meaningful action. Take Charge! also helps meet the performance expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards.
