Connect With Your Community

Make a difference close to home by taking your EcoSchools program out into the community.

Tips:

• Adopt a local green space and enhance learning by inviting teachers to visit with their classes.
• Invite the community to participate in school events such as a clean-up day or garden harvest days.
• Involve your parent community in planning safe routes to school, and designate days where a welcoming group is there to celebrate participation.
• Partner with community members or local organizations. For instance, school ground greening can be enhanced by connecting with volunteer landscape designers or donating produce to nearby food banks.
