Earth Day Network’s National Civic Education Project (NCEP) seeks to support teachers and their students from diverse schools across the country to combine civic and environmental education inside their classroom with hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom. These grants allow students and educators to collaborate and act on environmental projects within their local communities.
Back in early May 2010, the DC Healthy Schools Act, introduced by Councilmember Mary Cheh and Council Chairman (now soon to be Mayor) Vincent Gray, was unanimously passed by the DC City Council. Among its many measures, the Act improves the quality of school meals, establishes a school garden program, establishes a farm-to-school program, requires all schools to provide free breakfast, sets nutritional standards for school meals and increases funding for school gardens.

During the 2005-2006 school year, Earth Day Network was one of the first organizations to champion what has since become a national green schools movement. These schools are at the vanguard of the national education and environmental movements, combining traditional education approaches with 21st century innovations in building science, renewable energy and green economy support.
Earth Day Network works with partners on the U.S. and international stage, engaging in global policy initiatives to enhance environmental awareness and accelerate the green economy.
