Boca Raton, FL – The International WeLoveU Foundation and Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast have teamed up to launch an Earth Week Initiative that aims to educate and inspire students to take care of the planet.

The webinar series, which was streamed in schools across Palm Beach & the Treasure Coast, ran from Monday, April 17th to Friday, April 23rd, 2023, from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. EST. The event was a huge success, with over 6,000 students and teachers from various middle and high schools tuning in. The aim of the event and the clean-up was to encourage investment in our planet and its environment. By inviting professionals in the field to share their stories with students, the event helped raise awareness about the environment and the role that each person can play in protecting it. Overall, the Earth Week Initiative was a great success and left a positive impact on the community. The Earth Week Initiative featured a diverse lineup of speakers who shared their expertise with the students. Among the speakers were Junior Achievement Elementary Director Erica Henn, Director Fabien Cousteau, Dr. Pamela Fletcher, FAU Graduate Sydney Bell, Loggerhead STEM education specialist Jordan Ferre, and Melissa Wagner and Kaleigh Fix with Reef Institute.
