BIO+DIVERSITY is the idea that environmental, social, cultural and economic diversity are drivers for the sustainable success of our urban communities. We at Environmental Charter Schools (ECS) believe in the interconnectivity of social and environmental justice, and of youth and adults working together for a new vision of sustainability. Our Green Ambassadors program works to connect young people and educators to the nature and resources that thrive within our own city through the lenses of water, food, energy and waste. We hope to increase our impact by supporting educators, community partners, agencies + businesses to collaborate on youth-led environmental service learning projects.
