YES!Atlanta is a volunteer-based mentoring program for at-risk youth founded in 1988. Our goal is to support teenagers in a variety of ways (particularly mentoring and tutoring) so that they remain in school until graduation. Earning a high-school degree is a vital step toward growing into a fulfilled and contributing member of their community. To learn more, visit our web site at: www.yesatlanta.org We support the goals and objectives of EcoApprentice and urge others to do the same.

What are the Eco Icons? For any EcoChallenge, choose one or more icons that best reflects the category of sustainability that is helped by an EcoSolution. If an EcoSolution results in a new way to recycle something, choose the Recycle Icon; if an EcoSolution results in less waste production, choose the Reduce Waste Icon. A new water conservation method may represent multiple icons. You decide! If your EcoChallenge does not fall under any of the Icons, please let us know so we can create a new one! Scroll over each Eco Icon for a definition.
