KAB provides resources and education to inspire individuals &
the Austin community toward greater environmental stewardship
Middle and high school students participate in weekly activities to explore the outdoors, learn the truth about trash, and discover what's in our water. Activities are complimented with service projects. Students take action in their communities to mark storm drains, recycle, beautify their campuses, and restore creek and nature preserves while earning community service hours. As a Green Teen you can become eligible for a paid summer internship to mentor younger youth.

Our partners speak out about what they like most about Green Teens:
  • "I liked how the program was very hands-on and educated children about various subjects including healthy eating, composting, gardening and insect life."
  • "Thanks again for everything you guys have done for us at Bedichek. It is much appreciated."
  • " The apprenticeship offered the kids many realistic applications of how to 'green' their own lives and involved their families in real ways by having kids provide samples and take information back to their parents and siblings."
  • "Energy level of the instructor and instructional materials is great."
