USGBC Chapter Green Schools Committees

Across USGBC’s national chapter network, more than 1,000 Green Schools Committee volunteers are leading local and regional campaigns to advance green schools. These volunteers provide their communities with on-the-ground support, serving as local experts in green schools and green building, and acting as a direct link to the programs and initiatives of the Center for Green Schools. 

Green Schools Committees raise community awareness about the benefits of green schools by working with parents and teachers, students and school boards, administrators and city officials. They host green school community events in cities and towns, connect with elected officials, provide hands-on support to local schools and engage the media in their initiatives. Find out more about how these Committees take action all year!

As green schools continue to become a priority, USGBC’s network of 79 chapters and affiliate organizations has responded in kind. Working together, the Center for Green Schools and the Chapter Green Schools Committees are equipping, empowering and engaging communities in the green schools movement.

A note to our friends outside the U.S. – While the USGBC chapter network is only in the United States and U.S. territories, there are ways for the international green schools movement to connect. USGBC is part of a global network of Green Building Councils, which provide options for green building involvement outside the United States. Learn more »

Another great way to get involved in the U.S. or abroad is through the first ever International Green Schools Day of Service! Learn more »
