Green School Connections is a collaborative group of students, families, educators and community members who aim to build a just, healthy, sustainable and climate-resilient community. School Connections aspires to help our schools educate students and empower them to be climate advocates and sustainability leaders.
Some of what we do:
- Partner with NPS in the School Sustainability Working Group (SSWG)
- Share past and current sustainability efforts at individual schools
- Provide schools with information and resources on making their schools more sustainable
- Develop and share recycling practices and signage for schools
- Host discussions with stakeholders from the city government and elected officials.
