Regional & Local Programs
The Center for Green Schools organizes programming across the country to provide free, convenient, locally relevant training, coaching, and resources to school system staff who want to achieve greener, healthier K - 12 schools.
Our local trainings and networking events are for any professional in a school district, charter network, or private schools who wants to achieve greener, healthier K-12 schools. Those who participate often include school system staff from facilities, operations, environmental health, finance, and sustainability, but we're open to all, whether you have sustainability in your title or not! A particular emphasis of our local programs is to help individuals or teams advance comprehensive indoor air quality management plans in their district that also prioritize energy efficiency.
