Green Careers Initiative:
Connecting Classrooms to Green Experts
Program Overview
Our program Connecting Classrooms to Professionals will partner green industry volunteers with youth for in class presentations and mentorship. In connecting classrooms with our volunteers we hope to inform students about what opportunities are currently available, and give new perspectives on what having a green career could mean! Our Green Careers Initiative aims to inspire students to strive for a green, sustainable and lucrative future.
ACEE is currently seeking teachers and professionals to volunteer for the first year of our program! If you are interested in participating please fill out the forms to be added to our list of classrooms and volunteers. If you have further questions or would like to chat about the program, please contact the program coordinator Kip Monaghan at [email protected]
