Student Climate Coalition
Recognizing the importance of student voice and engagement, the Student Climate Coalition aims to bring awareness
and change to sustainable practices on their local school campuses, the District, and the broader community. Student
advocacy efforts support student action and leadership, allowing students to drive green decision-making on sustainability
and environmental stewardship.
The inaugural 2024 Student Climate Coalition cohort, consisting of passionate student representatives from the central,
north, and south regions, addressed issues like waste reduction, recycling, energy reduction, and raising awareness for
peer involvement. Students learned how grant funding could empower them to create sustainable changes on their local
campuses. They developed leadership skills by facilitating meeting segments, creating a student sustainability guide,
networking with Florida Legislature staff, and building awareness of water conservation in Palm Beach County.
The FY24 Student Climate Coalition Cohort culminated with its members passionately expressing the importance of
environmental stewardship at the April 17, 2024, School Board meeting celebrating Earth Month.
