Eco-Reps apply to the program through an on-line application. Although Eco-Reps are mostly self-selecting, some are selected by their offices to be their representative, with the office rotating the role to different staff. Many of the offices have Green Teams in their departments or offices led by the Eco-Reps; in some cases Eco-Reps membership rotates among the Green Team members.

They receive ongoing monthly trainings on topics such as managed print services, how remanufactured toner cartridges are produced, how energy use is tracked on campus, how to hold a zero waste event, etc. Specialized training sessions are also provided, such as “How to be a Change-Agent." A monthly newsletter and semi-monthly sustainability tips are also sent to the Eco-Reps for them to share with their offices.
