The Sierra Youth Coalition offers sustainability education programmes that guide students through the process of completing a school sustainability audit and/or creating an inventory of their school’s greenhouse gas emissions. All programs are curriculum-linked and employ hands-on activities that invoke critical thought, group work, problem-solving and team-building. Each program involves multiple visits and mentorship throughout the school year.
Registration is ongoing until all spaces are filled. Our scheduling process is as follow:
1. Identify other classes, student clubs and committees at your school interested in participating in the Sustainable High Schools project or taking the High School Climate Challenge; select one person to coordinate your school’s registration process.
2. If you are the person coordinating your school’s registration, fill out our online registration form*.
3. Upon receiving your registration, we will email you to confirm the dates for in-class visits and answer any questions you may have.
* If you are from a BC high school, please click here.

The SHS Steering Committee brings together students leading sustainability initiatives at their schools and is the official decision-maker for the Sustainable High Schools project. We’re looking for members. If you want to meet and make friends with students from all across Ottawa, learn to make decisions by consensus, keep an ear to the ground as to what’s happening to make our schools more sustainable, and decide how to create a network of youth working for change, contact Erica at erica@syc-cjs.org.
