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.
