A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
CSUCI's Climate Corps program features peer educators with a focus on food waste, compost, waste reduction, and sustainability. The Climate Corps students receive training and education through monthly professional development workshops and mentorship and supervision from the Sustainability & Energy Director and the Director of Civic Engagement. The Climate Corps students design outreach materials, develop education campaigns, and host engaging workshops, presentations, and activities to teach students about food waste and the value of composting. For example, the Climate Corps met with Resident Advisors in CSUCI's housing program to teach them about food waste and the university's compost collection program. The Climate Corps also host trash talk events, where they engage with students in common waste disposal locations to discuss how to properly sort waste and strategies to reduce waste generation. The Climate Corps also posts content on social media and shares information with the student newspaper.
