A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities:
The Environmental Center cultivates tomorrow's environmental leaders by engaging them with opportunities to create change on campus and in the community. To achieve this end goal, one of the Environmental Center's flagship programs is our Student Environmental Leadership program. Within this, the EC's hires 25-30 staff to populate our five initiative areas-- Local Food Security, Real Food Challenge, Zero Waste, Campus Sustainability and Aesthetic Activists. Our student teams then implement projects, programs and activities to meet their team's mission. Each team is required, at a minimum, to complete two campus-directed outreach and engagement activities each semester. Environmental Center professional staff and supporting campus and community partners provide training on effective outreach and educational strategies.
A brief description of how the student educators are selected:
Students are selected through a competitive application process that examines students' interests and skill sets, as well as, how students perceive that participation in this program will benefit their future personal, civic, and professional life.
A brief description of the formal training that the student educators receive to prepare them to conduct peer outreach:
Students participate in weekly meetings that have educational activities, workshops and classes embedded within them. Additionally, all students attend a Fall and Spring day-long staff retreat that focuses on professional and skills development. Student Team Coordinators attend an additional weekly training meeting. All students receive 1-on-1 training and coaching by EC professional staff, as needed.
A brief description of the financial and/or administrative support the institution provides to the program (e.g. annual budget and/or faculty/staff coordination):
The Environmental Center's Student Environmental Leadership program is sponsored in part by the FLC Student Activity Fees, administered by the student-managed Financial Allocation Board. Additionally, staff that qualify for Work Study funding as part of their Financial Aid package are paid for their efforts. FLC further sponsors this program by providing offices within the Student Union
