Environment

Department of Education (DepEd) order No. 72, series of 2003, establishes YES-O as the only co-curricular environmental club or organization in schools. It consolidates all other environmental and/or ecology clubs or organizations in schools with main and primary programs or projects for the environment. This effort believes that starting them young in the ways of environmentalism help secure a clean and healthy environment for generations to come. YES-O inspires and trains diverse youth to impact environmental issues through community action projects and campaigns; skills training in leadership, environmental education, civic engagement, and community organizing and knowledge that sustain our communities and future. In general, the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) aims to design and initiate programs, projects, and activities to value and promote environmental awareness among students. Furthermore, YES-O adheres to maintain DepEd’s thrust to lead in the realization of a clean and healthy environment and advocates love of nature and conservation of the natural resources.
