Program Outline

Over the nine-month program, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful will guide Young Ambassadors of Pennsylvania through a six-step process to implement change in their community. 

The Six-step process, originally developed by Earth Force, is as follows:

-- Complete a Community Inventory- focusing on litter and illegal dumping. What services and programs are available in your community?

-- Select an issue. What littering or illegal dumping issue do you want to work on?

-- Policy and Community Practice Research: What are people already doing about this issue?

-- Options for Influencing Policy and Practice: What are your choices for making a difference with this issue?

-- Planning and Taking Civic Action: What are your plans for making a change?

-- Looking Back and Ahead: How did everything go? What will you do next? Identify what people are already doing.

Young Ambassadors are expected to--

-- Attend a virtual orientation and a minimum of four virtual education and training workshops. Workshops will provide information on understanding the impact of litter on roadways, litter prevention, waste management and recycling, civic engagement and related public policy, volunteer management, social media marketing and will feature public and elected officials and industry experts.

-- Attend a minimum of two networking opportunities which will bring together program participants, state officials, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful staff and affiliates, as well as their peer group in Texas (Young Texans Ambassadors Program).

-- Conduct one community cleanup through Pick UP Pennsylvania.

-- Conduct one community education event or activity, with first consideration at the student’s high school or with a focus on engaging with their school peers.

-- Promote their participation in the program and their impact in their community on social media.
