Green Leaders
Green Leaders are the ambassadors and navigators for the Maryland Green Schools program. An integral part of the certification process, Green Leaders are committed volunteers from various backgrounds who aim to improve the sustainability of schools and their communities.
In particular, Green Leaders:
-
become familiar with the requirements of the Maryland Green Schools program;
-
assist schools with developing a plan to meet the objectives of the Green Schools application;
-
connect schools with resources;
-
facilitate community partnerships; and
-
support schools with the online application process.
Mobilize Frederick trains Green Leaders and pairs them with schools to mentor and guide them through their unique Green School journey. In some cases, Green Leaders make the initial contacts with a school community to introduce them to the Green Schools program and its benefits.
