With locations nationwide, the programs engage local youth in hands-on activities that teach important environmental knowledge.

As part of the educational process, Earth Force hosts a Youth Summit each year. This year, on May 3^rd and 5^th, EF will come to Philadelphia to celebrate the 12^th Annual Earth Force Youth Summit.  

Students from over 33 schools throughout the Philadelphia region will come together at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge to reveal environmentally-aware projects they have completed over the 2010-11 school year, that used innovative approaches to enhance, educate and beautify their communities.
