What are the benefits for me?

Be featured on the WGC USA website as a student volunteer. Be part of a local and global movement working with the county government, the United Nations, and more.
-
Share and learn best practices from a coalition of local enviromental science educators. Help your students apply in-class knowledge with this service learning project. Engage with global classrooms participating in the program.
-
Attain grant funding and guidance in applying for this funding. Receive press coverage, an announcement on the United Nations UNFCCC website, and student engagement. Burnish your legacy by spearheading one of the first schools in the country to take meaningful action on climate change. All of these benefits come with the total support of Green County and minimal time and cost to your district.
