Welcome to Del Val’s Environmental Club!
In this club, we aim to create a more environmentally conscious school and community through education and participation.
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

Welcome to the 2023/2024 Environmental Club!
The club meets on most 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month. There are some exceptions, so please make sure you look at the meeting dates below. This year the club will meet during the second half of lunch in the Commons. We may have to add some after school meetings when there is a larger project going on. If this happens, please be aware that there are no late buses. Students will have to arrange their own transportation.
We hope to see you there!

The Environmental Club is thrilled to offer $200 scholarships to TWO active club members.
The scholarship rewards students who have made contributions to Del Val’s Environmental Club and who demonstrate awareness to environmental causes in their community.
Scholarship criteria:
Be a current Environmental Club member (any grade level) at Delaware Valley Regional High School.
You must have earned at least 9 club points by the May application deadline (not necessarily by the time you submit your application).
Plan on attending an accredited 2 or 4 year post-secondary program.
Apply by writing a short essay (max 2 pages, no minimum) or submitting a short video (maximum 8 minutes, no minimum) letting us know:
How you have helped Del Val’s Environmental Club
How you have helped your community
What action plan would you like to see carried out in the future? How would it work and what function would it serve?
Submit your application by May 6, 2024 to Email Bessy K. with the subject line 2023-2024 ENV CLUB SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
All scholarship awards will be handed out at Senior Awards Night. If you are not a current senior, the award will be held for you until your graduating year.
We understand that everyone is busy and may not be available to attend all club meetings and events. That is ok. We do not expect you to.
In order to ensure that everyone is doing their share, we have instituted a points system.
If students earn 9+ points throughout the year, they would be considered full club members and be able to add the club on a college application as well as apply for our Environmental Club Scholarship.
Points can be earned by:
Meetings: 0.5 points
Bringing food for meetings: 1 point
Having an officer/coordinator position: 3 points
Participating in after school projects: 1 point
Participation in out of school projects: 2-3 points
It is easy to earn 9 points in our club. We will make sure there are plenty of meetings and events for you to participate in.
