We are now accepting applications for the Green Schools program.

OVERVIEW

The Green Schools Program encourages students to make a difference in their communities. Promoting environmental education, innovation and creative solutions, this program believes in investing in young people and giving them the resources they need to be positive examples for their community.

HOW IT WORKS

A school must submit an (online) application that creates, continues or expands sustainable practices. The Green Schools Program Committee will contact your school to confirm acceptance of the application and may follow up regarding status and outstanding questions.

The top fifty proposals will be selected by the Committee and given the opportunity to raise up to $2,500 for their projects. Accepted proposals will be placed on the Green Schools Program website.

Schools will receive grant checks in the mail, and can additionally opt for a “big check” presentation ceremony with representatives from the Streets Department, the principal, and the students and teachers involved in the project.
