PHENND Fellows-Sustainability Coordinator

GreenFutures is the School District of Philadelphia's sustainability plan and program with five guiding principles: Efficiencies, Engagement, Equity, Environment, and Education. These principles guide every focus area of the plan with measurable objectives and outcomes. This plan supports the District's goals by better serving all of our students by creating equitable access to green school resources in every neighborhood. Evidence shows that green schools help to develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of science, social studies, math, reading and writing. With GreenFutures, our charge is unchanged: Every child can learn. Every school can be a great school. GreenFutures aims to reduce the District’s environmental footprint, conserve resources, decrease consumption and waste, and create green school settings and healthy indoor environments. This plan connects student curriculum with facilities management and operations, teachers, students and school communities and stakeholders. The plan encourages school students, families and friends to participate in developing and implementing sustainability initiatives in every community.

Member Duties : The VISTA will help increase the School District of Philadelphia’s capacity to take on sustainability-related projects and increase the number of sustainability-related resources available through the ongoing SDP GreenFutures plan. This plan's goal is to make every school great and every school green through five focus areas: Education for Sustainability (EfS); Energy and Efficiencies; Consumption and Waste; School Greenscapes; and Healthy Schools and Healthy Living. The VISTA's work will mainly center on Education for Sustainability and Consumption and Waste as they will generate and facilitate the EfS lending library program and assist with litter projects. This will entail constructing a database/organizational system to track inventory, communicating with interested educators, and communicating with potential donors about needs. The VISTA will also work to promote the GreenFutures brand and increase program awareness by developing outreach materials, a newsletter and social media.
