About GC

Green Clubs is an interactive tool which can help you learn about actions which will improve environmental sustainability.

The self-generating aspect of green club programming was set in motion and service requests emerged. The club became a container for environmental dialogue and opportunities. Partnerships served several purposes. For one, partnering with different organizations as well as staff and community members broadened the reach of programming.

Starting a Green Club at Your School

Green Clubs are a great way to affect change at your school, to lower your school's environmental footprint and to raise awareness throughout the student body.

Below is a basic step-by-step guide to getting a green club up and running.

Find an adviser. Teachers, librarians, teacher assistants, and parent volunteers may all serve as club advisers.
Decide when your club can meet. Typically this is before school, during lunch or after school. In special cases, club meetings may even take place during school. Consider:
