What's a Community Coach?
A Community Coach is a person or organization you choose to help you with your project. A great coach might be an environmental organization, a local government representative, a custodian, a farmer, or a parent.
Community Coaches can help support a team's eco-action through one (or more) of the following actions:
- Having a representative visit the school
- Hosting a workshop for a school team about a topic that relates to their project (ex. composting, setting environmental goals, recycling) or a workshop about what their organization does
- Allowing a team to come to their organization for a tour
- Recommending or providing helpful resources
