The Center for Green Schools at the USGBC is helping to engage educators in creating sustainable
learning environments
for their students and apply solid research to inform leadership—from school boards to college presidents—about the
benefits of healthy, high-performing schools. They are working with state and local governments to draft smart,
practical policies, and they provide trainings and helpful resources to those who need it most—K-12 schools serving
lower-income families, under-resourced institutions and community colleges. The Center serves to convene
conversations
with key decision makers, collaborate with leading education and environmental associations and create tools and
resources that help make green schools possible.
