Every year, KOB celebrates the Oklahoma students who are already doing the work of reducing waste, protecting natural spaces, and building the environmental habits their communities need. The Student Environmental Champions program recognizes that work with awards, recognition, and a celebration worth showing up for.

The Annual Luncheon

Each year, KOB hosts the Student Environmental Champions Awards Luncheon to honor winning students and classrooms from across Oklahoma. The event is held at a venue students can explore — past locations have included zoos, aquariums, and science museums — making it a field trip and a celebration in one.

Award winners receive free tickets. Classrooms receive free tickets for all students and one adult chaperone per ten children. Additional guests are welcome at a ticketed rate determined by the venue.

2027 luncheon details will be posted here once confirmed.

Student Programs

KOB runs several K-12 programs that give Oklahoma students hands-on ways to engage with their environment and communities. Winners from each program are recognized at the annual luncheon.
