THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Environmental Education, K-12 Education, Civic Engagement, Climate Change, Hawaii
Deadline: Jan. 31, 2025
“The NOAA Hawaii Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) program is an environmental education program that meets NOAA’s mission of science, service, and stewardship. The Hawaii B-WET program supports a vision of a future where societies and ecosystems are healthy and resilient in the face of sudden or prolonged change.
The purpose for this funding opportunity is to support our communities by developing well-informed members of society, who are involved in decision-making that positively impacts our coastal, marine, and watershed ecosystems in the Hawaiian Islands. This is a competitive opportunity for grants to assist in the development of new programs, encourage innovative partnerships among environmental education programs, and support geographically targeted programs to advance environmental education efforts that complement national and state school requirements. The Hawaii B-WET program plays a foundational role as an environmental education program that promotes locally relevant, experiential learning in the K-12 environment on Priority Content Areas such as Science with an emphasis on climate and Indigenous Knowledge (IK). Funded projects provide Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) for students and professional development for teachers that support regional education and environmental priorities.”
