Lord Mayor's Young Environmental Leadership Network
The Green Heart Schools’ Lord Mayor's Young Environmental Leadership Network (the program) proudly supports students and schools by empowering young leaders to create real change in their school community.
About the program
This is a unique learning and leadership program that directly engages and supports schools to be cleaner and greener.
Through a project-based, active learning model, students are empowered to create positive and lasting environmental change in their school and community through the delivery of an at school project. Student representatives attend five Council-facilitated meetings throughout the year that equip them with lifelong skills in project management, team work, communication and leadership.
2025 program nominations and workshops
Nominations for the 2025 program are now open.
Schools within the Brisbane City Council local government area are invited to nominate for the 2025 program. The number of school places in the program is limited and nominations will close on 31 January 2025, or when the program reaches capacity.
Workshops are held on Wednesdays from 9am to 2.30pm, and the Graduation event is from 8am to 12noon. The Orientation and Graduation events are held at City Hall. Other workshops will be held in the CBD area, with venues to be confirmed. Student representatives are expected to attend all five workshops.
