The Global Sustainability Partnership is coordinated through the USF Patel College with a mission to expand the knowledge and awareness of global sustainability issues for local K-12 students through problem-based learning methods based on research generated from the University of South Florida while also providing meaningful mentorship opportunities, sustainability-related field trips, guest speakers, joint events and grant proposals to further student knowledge of global environmental issues. The partnership currently works with the following Hillsborough County Schools: Dowdell Middle Magnet School, Young Middle Magnet School, Lockhart Elementary Magnet School and Middleton Magnet High School
