Love Where You Learn 2024
What is Love Where You Learn?
Love Where You Learn (LWYL) is a Vancouver Kindness Movement all-year-initiative promoting school campus cleanups and encouraging students to take climate action in the broader community. This youth-led cleanup is just one of the many ways we can contribute to keeping our direct environment clean. What better way to care for our schools than by keeping them clean and safe for everyone?
We highly encourage heads of schools, student leaders, and families to take part in this initiative. Through our Love Where You Learn program, we work with students to hone their entrepreneurial skills and strategies to teach them how to plan and organize their own clean up events. Not only does LWYL foster a sense of community, but will also help foster youth engagement on taking the initiative for climate action.
