Supporting our next generation of environmental champions
We are proud to partner with Landcare Australia on the Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants program. These grants support Australian primary schools and early learning centres to inspire kids to care for the environment.
We have had a fantastic response to this program, and since it started in late 2018 close to 6000 schools and centres have shared more than $6 million in grant funding.
This program supports kids to make a positive impact on the world around them, getting them hands-on with sustainable food production, waste management practices and biodiversity projects.
Landcare Australia CEO, Dr Shane Norrish, said: “The Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants have always been about bringing sustainability into classrooms across Australia, and teaching children how to care for the environment around them. Thanks to Woolworths thousands of schools have been able to further support environmental champions and support students to develop hands-on skills that they can take with them when they leave school.”
