Environment Futures Program
How do I apply for the Environment Futures Program?What is the program about?
It is a summer program that trains high school and university students to do environmental protection and enhancement work. Students are assigned to a team to do short-term environmental projects in their region. Organizations or government departments in PEI can apply to have the student work teams provide labour for their proposed environmental projects.
Information for Community Groups
What projects can be funded?
Projects that provide environmental benefits to the community and offer a good educational and work experience to youth involved in the program are funded. Examples include:
- Enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat;
- Soil erosion control;
- Protecting and enhancing natural areas;
- Solid waste management (park, beach or river clean-up);
- Environmental awareness (water management, protecting aquatic habitat); and
- Educational activities.
What is the maximum funding available?
Groups apply for student labour resources, not funding.
What is the deadline for community groups to apply to the program?
Project applications are accepted throughout the summer. However, they should be submitted as early as possible to ensure students have enough time to complete the project.
