What's Your Green Building Story?
Bi-monthly spotlights on positive impacts USGBC-MGC members are making in our community
  We couldn't think of a better time to share comments from members who are making positive impacts through mentorship in the Green Schools Quest!
 
An estimated 60+ schools will participate in this project-based sustainability challenge this school year (they have until Sept 15 to sign up!), and we are  currently in need of 20 additional mentors.
 
Will you join your colleagues listed below to mentor this school year?

What do you like about the Green Schools Quest?
"I love that professionals in the community are taking an interest in our schools to help children understand the importance of sustainability in gathering places."  - Mentor Angela A. Moore, Missouri Historical Society
"This is a great program to get kids involved and better create a culture of sustainability."  - Mentor Erik Lueders, Parkway School District
"I like that it caters to a wide variety of schools that are at different points on the sustainability spectrum."  - Mentor Bonnie Harper, East-West Gateway Council of Governments
"I like that it is open and available for FREE to so many schools." - Mentor Kim Petzing, Madison County Planning & Development
"The look in the children's eyes.  The enthusiasm of the instructors.  The great questions.  The sense of pride."  - Mentor Paul Todd Merrill, Clayco
"It was absolutely wonderful to see the school transform and to watch the kids learn. Kids are a great target for sustainability education - they can take ownership of these issues and bring their knowledge with them for the rest of their lives. I also see a lot of potential for energy savings in STL public schools and improving the quality of life for their students by creating better indoor air quality, access to green spaces, and gardens."  - Mentor Jenn DeRose, Green Dining Alliance
"I thought that the additional focus on working not only within the school environment, but also the larger community (parents and greater community) were great strengths of the program."  - Mentor Matthew P. Beard, Brewer Science, Inc.
