Zero Carbon Ambassadors Program
A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
The opening of The Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation is an important opportunity to engage and educate Mohawk students to use the building in sustainable ways and contribute to the zero carbon goal. The Zero Carbon Ambassadors Program is a network of peer educators responsible for engaging others in creating a net zero Joyce Centre. This program is supported by student program leads hired through the CSEP program - Mohawk College's work-study program. Using peer-to-peer engagement strategies, student leaders will:
- Provide tours of the building,
- Provide information to questions about the building including key features and zero-carbon building design
- Engage all students on energy and building usage
- Promote zero carbon and zero energy practices within the building
- Social media campaigns to promote building features
- Online zero-carbon scavenger hunt for students
*Note: Due to ongoing COVID-related campus restrictions, this program is currently on-hold. Reported data was collected during the Fall Semester 2019-20 Academic Year. We anticipate offering this program year-round in the future.
