Environmental Clubs Network
A national network of school-based environmental clubs, each led by a teacher coordinator and supported by the Foundation with resources, project ideas, site visits and equipment. Clubs run clean-ups, tree plantings, biodiversity surveys and their own school campaigns.
E-STEM Program
Hands-on sessions that use Guyana's own ecosystems as the classroom: water quality testing, drone education, coding and data collection, renewable-energy builds and conservation challenges pitched at club level.
Environmental Club Coordinators Connect
A full-day forum where coordinators share what worked, plan the year ahead and take new material back to their schools. The 3rd Annual Connect brought together around 40 coordinators from Regions 1 to 6.
Conservation Conversations
A speaker and discussion series hosted with the Protected Areas Trust, bringing policymakers, scientists, diplomats and students into the same room. The fifth edition ran under the theme “Inspiring Change, One Conversation at a Time” and featured Rt Hon David Lammy, MP.

What people say
Coordinators, partners and students on what the Foundation's work has meant for them.
The EMC Foundation has given our environmental club structure, materials and a reason to get outside. Our students look forward to every session.
Conservation Conversations puts students in the same room as decision makers. That is rare, and it changes how young people see their own voice.
My internship gave me the field experience my degree could not. I left knowing what conservation work actually looks like day to day.
The Information Tree has become a talking point for everyone who passes through. Visitors stop and read it.
Bringing coordinators together once a year means none of us are working alone anymore.
