The EPA's ecoAmbassdor Program
Want to work with college representatives and fellow students to implement projects from EPA programs to help green your campuses, promote environmental awareness and carry out the EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment?
Become an EPA OnCampus ecoAmbassador.EcoAmbassadors can choose to implement one environmental activity from a menu of options, such as increasing energy efficiency on campus, reducing water use, and implementing a composting program. Students, like you, are encouraged to recruit help from friends and organizations on campus. There is no limit to the number of projects you can complete!
Student members are equipped with EPA materials and a Facebook community to engage members of their campus and students across the country. Upon completion of each activity and sponsor endorsement, each student will receive a certificate of completion from the EPA and the school will receive sustainability leaves to track progress. Schools that complete activities of higher difficulty will be awarded more leaves. Students from schools that complete multiple activities within a school year will have the opportunity to visit the EPA at both the regional and national level. During these spring semester visits, students will meet with program staff and leadership.
To take part in the OnCampus ecoAmbassador Program you must be a college student attending any two or four year institution, undergraduate or graduate. OnCampus ecoAmbassadors are not official EPA interns. Check with your BC college advisor to see if you can receive credit for completion of projects.
A comprehensive list of activities will be available on their website shortly so check back.
The program officially opens on Thursday, September 1.For more information about the program, check out their Facebook Page or contact a program coordinator at EPAoncampus@epa.gov.
