Youth and Educational Programs
Campus Affiliates
Keep Texas Beautiful is pleased to introduce YEL! (Young Environmental Leaders), an improved combination of Keep Texas Beautiful’s Youth Environmental Stewards (YES) and the Campus Affiliate Program. As the largest community improvement organization in the state, Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) can help you become a leader in your community! From one youth to an entire school, there is a YEL! level for youth of any age
Youth & Educator Awards
The Keep Texas Beautiful Youth & Educator Awards honor extraordinary students, educators and volunteers working to improve and beautify their communities. The 2012 application is due by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8.
Litter Force
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is now targeting even younger Texans with its litter-prevention campaign. The Litter Force Team teaches elementary-age children about the perils of littering and how they can help 'blast the trash' and protect Texas roadways from litter.

Waste In Place
The Waste In Place curriculum, created by Keep America Beautiful, addresses the problem of waste and its disposal alternatives, and emphasizes responsible solid waste handling practices through hands-on activities for K-8th grade. This unique curriculum aims to encourage informed decisions by our future community leaders.
Educational Activities
While Keep Texas Beautiful does not endorse any company or products, we wanted to make available websites and resources you might find helpful in your efforts to educate youth on how they can keep Texas beautiful.
Patch Program
We are proud to offer the Keep Texas Beautiful Patch Program. Patches are often presented to Boy and Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Youth, among others. KTB's Youth Patch Program was launched and supported by the Honorable Ruthe Jackson, a founding member of KTB and councilwoman in Grand Prairie.
EnviroScape Nonpoint Source Model
This interactive and fun model teaches students about nonpoint source pollution.
From the Young Environmental Leaders and Campus Affiliate memberships to the Waste In Place curriculum and Patch Program, our youth programs are fostering budding environmental stewards and ensuring a bright future for Texas!
