Youth
Educational Programs Overview
Working in partnership with local schools and teachers, we provide recycling and environmental education. These lessons are aligned with Michigan science standards, and heavily incorporate the different STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) disciplines.
​
GLS lessons fit within a framework of the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to give students the tools they need to make individual and group behavior change, and help create a sustainable society.

Detroit schools are eligible to host a FREE recycling assembly for Kindergarten though 8th grade students with Detroit’s recycling mascot, BEE GREEN! Assemblies engage students in a fun and informational program to increase curbside recycling participate across Detroit!
Our goal at Green Living Science is to educate youth about recycling and help make curbside recycling accessible to all Detroit residents. After the assembly students will receive a voucher to receive a FREE recycling cart for their Detroit residence, which would cost residents $25, but with GLS students’ families receive it for FREE!
