HOW
WE WORK
Students
-
Opportunities to earn credit while co-creating a curriculum that will enable you to become a leader in environmental justice and climate solutions. As a student you have a couple of options for working with us. We can help you design an independent study project and serve as a liaison connecting you to places and projects that are modeling various approaches to climate solutions that you are interested in. Together, with your Flexible Pathways (VT) or Experiential Learning Opportunity (ELO) coordinator we will co- design a syllabus around topics, activities and places that will not only provide you with skills and experiential learning opportunities, but you can also earn credit or evidence in a number of different standards.

Tailored mentorships in climate solutions in their community. Examples include working on food justice issues, planting pollinator gardens at schools, working in RC native tree nurseries, designing climate solutions with local experts and more!
