GECKO - Greennovate Environmental Challenge for Kids Outreach
-
GECKO was established to offer innovative educational programs to smaller city high schools in China, inspiring kids to become environmental ambassadors to their communities.
What's this group all about?
Our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower high school students in China to become environmental ambassadors to their communities and encourage their friends, family, and future employers to develop a more sustainable lifestyle. Since our founding, we have reached out to over 5,300 students across 10 provinces in China, including Guangxi, Guangzhou, and Qinghai!

Working in the environmental field in China is so inspiring because we can see how the green movement is starting up with the youth on the ground. There is a saying here: "In China, nothing is easy, but everything is possible." Things tend to explode here with the youth, so we are trying to ignite that match with environmental awareness and see what happens from there!
