BECOME A SCHOOL PARTNER
Climate Action Pathways for Schools (CAPS) works with school districts across California to ensure that student leaders are empowered to enact projects that reduce their school’s greenhouse gas emissions while building local climate resilience. When you partner with CAPS, you are helping achieve triple-bottom-line impact: providing students with paid, real-world training that prepares them for careers in the green economy; reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy expenditures for your school district; and laying the foundation for a more sustainable thriving future for people and the planet.
Learn how we can work together to build a future where students have meaningful career opportunities and attend healthy, sustainable schools.
School Partners
We partner with school districts to provide inspiring climate education programs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We work closely with district leadership, the business office and operations, and educational services teams to develop a climate action plan.
CAPS is currently working with seven school districts across California to extend paid, hands-on educational opportunities for students that prepare them for future green careers. We'd love to learn more about your school communities' environmental and equity goals and how we can support them.
Industry Partners
CAPS works with partners from the energy and sustainability sector to expose students to careers in the green industry, provide hands-on learning opportunities, and grow a network of professional mentors.
If you’re an industry partner working in sustainability and looking to develop relationships with the workforce of the future, contact us to explore training and partnership opportunities.
