Green Across the Pacific: Environmental Exchange

Youth Green International is a virtual connect platform for teachers and students to discuss environmental issues, create educational partnerships, and engage together through cultural exchanges. Green Across the World connects middle schools and high schools in Vermont to partner with schools in other countries like Senegal, Japan, Bhutan, and others. We conduct exchange and apprenticeship programs for students across the world.

Work on environmental projects and explore how culture influences one’s thought on the environment while you create connections and relationships across intercultural lines.
