Cooler Communities in Schools
The Cooler Communities school grant program was piloted in 2019 and aims to strengthens young people’s leadership on energy and climate-related issues. It leverages students’ curriculum work on energy and climate change to take a whole community on a path toward lower emissions and clean energy. We offer grants, professional development, as well as classroom support to school districts across Massachusetts to elevate their teaching of climate solutions. We then host a community event where students and service providers educate parents and the wider community about climate friendly choices they can make in their lives, homes, and communities and ask them to pledge action.
