US Educators

Educators in the US may apply for grants of up to $1,500 for instruments and supplies to facilitate youth environmental research and data collection. Student participants are expected to produce research projects and share data through publicly available (or non-proprietary) data-sharing platforms (school website, Purple Air, CitSci, GLOBE, etc.) Environmental research is required for this grant and must be explained in the grant application. Grantees must commit to coaching students in conducting research projects and sharing their observations and reports.

US environmental educators and organizations may apply for grants of up to $5,000 for local student research symposia (SRS). The local SRS supported by YLACES is to be based on the GLOBE Regional SRS model but instead should be one-day events with student participants drawn from a school, school district(s), a locale, or a small region. Peer review and exposure to STEM professionals are key components to an SRS. YLACES will award up to seven SRS grants in 2026.
