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.
