Working with young people

Introduction

Friends of the Earth have a youth and education network for local group members. People join this network for many reasons:

• To inspire a new generation;
• To help young people make the global to local links;
• To offer advice and guidance to teachers and youth workers.

Some people give talks, run sessions, or help out with environment clubs. Others prefer to offer advice to teachers and governors. To read up on some recent activities go to the local groups activities page and pick 'cross campaign' as an issue, followed by 'education'.
