A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (1st program):
EcoReps is a student sustainability peer-to-peer education program. It is designed to give students the resources and knowledge to solve environmental, economic and social sustainability issues. Reps function as the student branch of the Sustainability Advisory Council, and work together to organize campus-wide programming (e.g., Mend it Monday, Clothing Swaps, Bike Tune-ups, Sustainability Week, Bike Week, Residence Hall Workshops), carry out collaborative projects (partner with Goodwill, Local Foods, Ice Climbing Festival, etc.), and represent the program at various on and off-campus events (e.g., Fresh Coast Film Fest, Climate March, Local Food Festival, etc). Reps are introduced to new topics, help plan activities and implement actions that improve sustainability on campus and in the community.
