LEADERSHIP + INNOVATION

High School Contest to Catalyze Change

Since 2015, over 450 students from 10 different high schools and community groups have taken action in their communities with support from the Greenlight Award Program.

Here’s how it works:

  • Pitch a Big Green Idea: Greenlight Award contestants create a proposal and pitch a big green advocacy or innovation idea to address climate change.
  • Greenlight Go! The best ideas receive funding and support to help our community reach its climate action goals. 
  • Showcase Impact: In the spring students showcase their results and compete to win the Greenlight Award and $500 cash.

Interested to register?  We can welcome late entries until November 7th, but please email  greenlightaward@bedford2030.org once you fill out the Registration Form so we can get you up to speed! Registration will close on November 7th.
