Let us introduce our amazing team members! Amy Cousins is the Sustainable High Schools Project Coordinator, and Alison Krahn is the Sustainable High Schools Youth Engagement Coordinator.The Sustainable High Schools Project empowers students with the skills, tools, and resources to generate greater social equity, ecological integrity and economic accountability through class projects, policy creation, and infrastructure upgrades. The project aims to bring together staff, administrators and parents who want to support students in making their high school communities models of sustainability.
The SHS Project is offered in partnership with the Sierra Youth Coalition, the youth branch of the Sierra Club. Sustainable High Schools is adapted from SYC's successful Sustainable Campuses Project. Both are youth-driven initiatives created to support school communities in envisioning, assessing and improving their level of ecological and social well-being.Watch us on YouTube!Throughout the school year, the Sustainable High School Project offers three curriculum-linked, interactive sustainability education programs that are appropriate for grades eight to twelve.Interested in registering for the Sustainable High Schools Class Program?If you are the person coordinating your school's registration, fill out our Online Registration Form.We will send you confirmation of your registration and inform you of our next steps.
