STUDENT CLIMATE COALITION:
AMPLIFYING STUDENT VOICE FOR SUSTAINABILITY

The Student Climate Coalition (SCC) provides a platform for students to lead
environmental and sustainability initiatives in their schools, the District, and
local communities. In FY25, students promoted sustainable practices while
amplifying student voices in decision-making processes. SCC members, along
with aspiring green team leaders from across the District, participated in the
annual Earth Month student presentation to the School Board. During this pre-
sentation, students shared their perspectives on sustainability and advocated
for ongoing environmental action within the District. The FY25 SCC cohort
collaborated on an electronic magazine (e-zine) that highlights their collective
efforts to drive environmentally focused projects on their school campuses and
within their communities. The e-zine was distributed to fellow students and
District employees to showcase the importance and impact of student voices.
The SCC’s e-zine
The SCC’s membership, interest, and ongoing growth indicates a strengthen-
ing of student leadership in sustainability, fostering tangible environmental
impacts on school campuses. Throughout FY25, students:

• Organized tree plantings to enhance local ecosystems.

• Created an e-zine to showcase sustainability efforts and share best practices.
• Connected with sustainability professionals to explore career paths and grant opportunities.
