Green Schools National Environmental Clubs Competition is an initiative through which Green Cameroon intends to engage and motivate schools,
students and members of existing environmental clubs in Cameroon. The project permits these clubs to showcase their past and current activities carried out towards the conservation of nature and also serves as a source of encouragement to all those involve in the noble initiative of working towards Environmental Protection. It also serves as a medium for raising awareness at the levels of schools and communities towards the conservation of Nature in Cameroon.
Through the project, 30 secondary school environmental clubs from regions of Cameroon were selected and worked with during a period of 6 weeks. These clubs were assisted on showcasing their conservation activities in form of a competition in which 10 finalist schools were then selected for presentation to the general public for recognition and celebration through prices and awards. Dedicating some time, resources and attention towards these clubs and their activities in no doubt helps to boost their moral and encouraged both the students and their institutions to do even more as they were reassured that their conservation effort are yielding fruits and gaining public recognition.

Investing in youths is investing in the future and sustainable development can only be achieved if we train our children to understand the relationship between their happiness and the state of the environment. It is only when they realize that there would be no true happiness without a conducive environment that they can be motivated to take and play active roles towards the conservation of nature.
