President's Environmental Youth Awards (PEYA)
Project Sponsors
Who can be a sponsor?
The sponsor must be an adult and may be a parent, teacher, youth group adviser, summer camp counselor, community leader, or other interested individual.
Each young person or group of young people applying for the PEYA program must be represented by a sponsor. The adult sponsor plays an important role in helping a young person or group of young people carry out a project and apply for a PEYA.
Typically, a sponsor offers suggestions and advice throughout the project to:
- develop a sound project approach
- implement the project
- work with other groups and individuals in the community
- complete the application form (The sponsor must also sign and date the application.)
- prepare accompanying materials
Questions about the role of a sponsor should be directed to your regional PEYA coordinator.
