New Green Team captains participate in alternating breakfast and lunch orientation sessions, as well as quarterly education meetings.

The captains then distribute this information to the members of their department.
Through the Professional Development Center, "Green Team 101" training is available to all staff two times per year. The program is not designed to be only a one-way training opportunity; it is meant to facilitate an exchange of best practices amongst the network of captains.
"Think Green Thursdays" offer opportunities for captains to learn about engaging, participatory games and activities that they can share with their departments.
