Student Sustainability Educators Program
The following directory includes student peer to peer sustainability outreach programs (often known as Eco-Reps). Generally, these programs work in the residential areas of campus and are sponsored by a campus department (such as Recycling, Residential Life, or the campus sustainability office).
The goals of this list are to: 1) provide an accurate accounting of the number of schools that have such programs, and 2) connect program coordinators with each other to facilitate sharing of knowledge and resources. Others may use this list to contact program coordinators about establishing such a program on their own campuses, or to get advice on particular initiatives. See the Harvard Green Campus Initiative's information on how to start your own "Green Living Program".
You may also join a listserv for program coordinators by sending a message with “subscribe” in the subject or text to eco-rep-list-request@lists.hcs.harvard.edu
Another resource is an article that shares the results of a 2007 survey of existing programs: Erickson, C., & Skoglund, C. (2008). Eco-Reps Programs: Conducting Peer Outreach in Residence Halls. Sustainability: The Journal of Record, 1(1), 57-72.
