e3 Sustainable Office Program

A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (1st program):

In most cases, employees have been self-selecting volunteers to be the e3 Leader for their department. In other cases, a department head has volunteered their department to join the e3 Program and then sought a team leader within the department's employees.


A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (1st program):

A representative from the Center for Sustainability walks-through the e3 program and entire list of sustainability items that departments can complete for points with the Team Leader (and in some cases with the entire department). The Team Leader is then trained to help champion efforts beyond what the department is already doing to be more sustainable.


A brief description of the staff and/or other financial support the institution provides to the program (1st program):

Center for Sustainability staff dedicate time to training, program facilitation, and outreach. Participating departments receive metal plaques with sunflowers printed on them and decorative petal magnets that are used to publicly display their achievement score. These have been paid for with JCCC funds. (It's also worth noting that the plaques and petal magnets are made by a local non-profit, Van Go, that provide disadvantaged and at-risk youth with jobs and training through arts education.)
