Peer connections

Support for Sustainability Leaders

We train and convene hundreds of school system staff from across the U.S. who dedicate time to sustainability initiatives. Our educational offerings and peer-to-peer learning opportunities are available for free to all school system staff, whether their job title includes ‘sustainability’ or not.

Regional & Local Programs

To increase access, bring support and connections closer to home, and ensure our education is relevant to the specifics of a school system’s local climate and politics, we offer regional education and peer-to-peer opportunities. Get connected to programs in your area and learn more here.

Sustainability Leaders Network

We provide a special national peer group for staff who spend a majority of their time on sustainability topics, such as resource use, landfill diversion, and long-term sustainability planning. These school system staff typically have titles such as sustainability director, sustainability coordinator, environmental health coordinator, zero waste manager, or similar. This peer group provides a space for these staff to learn from each other and further their important work. Learn more.

Benefits

For each of these networks, we provide:

Virtual education and networking opportunities
Annual summits to connect with peers and share best practices
Closed online network to share resources and get questions answered
Year-long fellowships to provide extra coaching and funding to attend professional development opportunities

Networks are specifically for school system employees and are free. Contact [email protected] to join.

School and district engagement

Each year the Center for Green Schools supports hundreds of schools and districts of all sizes, from across the country to pursue sustainability practices, policies, and programs. Those that were more engaged with the Center, had at least one member of staff participate in two or more programs over the course of the year, are listed below.
