Program Overview

GreenFutures is an innovative sustainability plan crafted by passionate staff and stakeholders with a genuine common desire to make public schools great — and green. This plan is aimed at making every school a green school.

How do we define “green school?”

A green school…
• • provides students with equitable access to healthy, clean, and energy-efficient learning spaces
  • cultivates student and staff awareness of and participation in environmental stewardship opportunities such as recycling, gardens and water conservation
  • provides social justice opportunities such as community access to green schoolyards, outdoor educational spaces and edible gardens
  • prepares students for the next generation of green, sustainable career pathways and good citizenship.
