Climate Action Leaders
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
Climate Action Leaders are faculty and staff peer-to-peer sustainability educators that work with the Keene State College Office of Sustainability to further KSC’s sustainability goals. At the beginning of each academic semester, the Office of Sustainability hosts a joint Climate Action Leaders/Eco-Reps/ROCKS kick-off meeting. This is a comprehensive onboarding that includes critical information about KSC’s sustainability goals, processes and programs. The training includes: information about the sustainability work that KSC is doing, KSC’s Sustainability Goals, the ‘Green Programs’ that the KSC Office of Sustainability manages and that Climate Action Leaders will facilitate with their constituency groups, communication and behavior change techniques, and a Campus Sustainability Tour. After the kick-off meeting, Climate Action Leaders begin their work, which ranges from formal or informal education sessions within their department, promoting sustainability goals and initiatives, and thinking creatively about new ways to make KSC more sustainable. In particular, The Office of Sustainability will work with Climate Action Leaders to support the Green Events and Green Office programs and will also involve their departments in specific Office of Sustainability engagement activities such as competitions and celebrations. The Office of Sustainability hosts monthly joint meetings during the academic year, which will include the Climate Action Leaders, the Eco-Reps, and the ROCKS students. This is an opportunity for Climate Action Leaders to connect directly with students engaged in sustainability work on campus.
A brief description of the employee educators program’s target audience (1st program):
The target audience of the Climate Action Leaders program is all KSC staff and faculty. Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, many calls for participants were put forth, as well as targeted recruitment efforts. The Climate Action Leaders program is designed to complement the existing student peer-to-peer education program, the Eco-Reps. One of the primary goals of the Climate Action Leaders program is to engage the entire staff and faculty in co-creating a culture of sustainability at KSC. Initial membership was analyzed, any gaps in membership were identified, and targeted recruitment was practiced to ensure that all areas of the campus community were included in the program.
