Abstract: The study explores the awareness, comprehension, and views on environment education (EE) program of fifteen (15) selected out-of-school youths (OSYs). It uses the exploratory sequential method which employed the EE toolkit, questionnaires, and interview guide as data gathering tools. Results showed that the participants’ levels of awareness and comprehension of the environmental principles, EE concepts, and skills have significantly increased after the program. The OSYs viewed EE activities to be beneficial and relevant, which positively changed their attitudes toward the environment. Thus, the OSYs’ knowledge on environmental issues has been heightened through the EE program. However, though the participants’ understanding on EE has increased, the quality and the sustainable program may be established to encourage the involvement of the OSYs in environment-related activities that will put concepts into practice and for the practicality of the EE program in the community.
