A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
Barnard College has a multi year partnership with Grad Bag and Lets Get Ready to host a transition day for incoming (to any institution) low-income, first-generation, New York City students. This day includes panels, workshops, and activities lead by Lets Get Ready staff and alumni to give students skills to succeed when they go off to college. Grad Bag provides students in attendance free, gently used, cleaned, dorm room supplies that were collected from move out events at Barnard College and other near by institutions.
Lets Get Ready is a non-profit organization that offers free SAT prep, admissions counseling, and post-enrollment mentoring through college to students from low-income backgrounds and who are first-generation-to-college.
Grad Bag is a non-profit organization that collects, cleans, and repackages used dorm supplies. These supplies are kept out of the landfill and redistributed to incoming first year college students from low-income households.
