Go Green EcoTeam

Build a strong EcoTeam

At the core of a strong EcoSchool is an active group of students and adults. A range of grades makes for a well-rounded team, and involving school principals, teachers, parents, and custodial staff gives students the support they need to succeed.

Tips:

  • Invite students to join your school EcoTeam early in the school year, and plan fun team-building games so students can get to know one another.
  • Have meetings at regular intervals (weekly, biweekly) so students can lead, plan and organize events and actions.
  • Consider having an application process and leadership training for the EcoTeam members to add value to their participation.
  • Consider team succession and plan to have a range of grades and backgrounds on your team so that students grow into leadership roles over the course of years.
