Learn about solutions to protect kids from health problems caused by heat and air pollution.

By helping kids understand the issue of climate change and how it affects their health and futures, we empower them to make a difference.

The School Air Quality Leadership Network brings together K-12 school staff working to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and create healthy schools across the country.

Since 2011, the Center for Green Schools has managed the School Sustainability Leaders’ Network (SLN), a growing group of nearly 300 sustainability staff working at the district level to promote greener, healthier K-12 schools that also serve as sustainable teaching tools for students who attend them.

The Center for Green Schools works to promote sustainability at school systems and advocate for healthy, green schools through educational resources, professional learning networks, and industry-recognized tools.

We focus on two primary areas of work: K-12 civic youth engagement and public policy research. These strategies complement and inform one another, providing a holistic approach to improving the lives of young people.
