Our Projects.

To be able to achieve the objectives of the organization, the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) - JRU Chapter organized different activities in coordination with government agencies like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), barangay officials, parents, students and community volunteers.

Project 1. Tree Planting (Angono, Rizal)

​

On January 19, 2013, the YES-O (JRU Chapter) went to Angono, Rizal to conduct a Tree Planting activity.  Through the efforts of JRU teachers, students, and municipal government, about 100 different types of tree seedlings provided by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) were planted along the municipal highway.

The municipal government promised that the seedlings will be well taken cared of by their local officials and volunteers until they become full-blown trees.

Project 2. Tree Planting (Trece Martires City, Cavite)

​

On March 15, 2014, the YES-O (JRU Chapter) visited West Plain Subdivision, Bgy. De Ocampo, Trece Martires City, Cavite to hold a Tree Planting activity.  Through the help of JRU teachers, students, and community volunteers, about 100 different types of tree seedlings provided by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) were planted around the subdivision.

The barangay captain promised that the seedlings will be well taken cared of by their tanods as well as the residents in the area until they become full-blown trees.

Project 3. JRU Hanging Garden

​

Hanging or Vertical Gardens are a common site in the metropolis due to lack of space for gardening.  Here at Jose Rizal University, the YES-O (JRU Chapter) started to build a hanging garden along the walls of its High School Quadrangle.

The project started in the latter part of SY 14-15.  This SY 15-16, the organization, spearheaded by its High School Principal, Mr. Romel C. Navarro, and under the supervision of its advisers, Mrs. Maria Theresa B. Bonus and Ms. Ailene O. Montalban, plans to complete the hanging garden by filling all the surrounding walls of the HS Quadrangle.
