This person is educated and empowered to act as a role model for sustainable behavior and office practices to their co-workers, and are recognized for their leadership.
A brief description of how the employee educators are selected:
SCOOP Champions self-select as the peer-to-peer outreach leader for sustainability in their office. Either they are responding to solicitation for interest from the group or they have reached out with interest having heard of / been aware of the group.
A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive to prepare them to conduct peer outreach:

They also host workshops and brown bag luncheons to connect these staff members with resources and support services from across campus that can help in their efforts.
A brief description of the financial and/or administrative support the institution provides to the program (e.g. annual budget and/or paid faculty/staff coordination):
