The DOE Office of Sustainability aims to catalyze transformative change across all NYC schools. Their mission centers around increasing facility efficiency, mitigating environmental impacts, and engaging stakeholders in efforts to enhance climate resilience, climate literacy, and student empowerment. Through education and comprehensive engagement, they strive for social equity and a healthier environment for future generations. Their commitments include improving school environments, empowering diverse communities for sustainable changes, providing meaningful learning experiences, and developing innovative solutions for facility improvements and dynamic community needs amid the changing climate.
The DOE Office of Sustainability's Annual Sustainability Project Grant is designed for NYC Public Schools, offering up to $5,000 to support sustainability projects. This grant encourages schools to develop or enhance sustainability and climate education, garden and outdoor learning spaces, and climate action and advocacy initiatives. Funding supports programs developed internally or with nonprofits, the start or enhancement of school gardens or outdoor learning spaces, and green team projects aligned with Climate Action Day themes. Material support includes a complete Tower Garden kit for recipients and a water bottle refill station installation, aiming to promote sustainability and environmental awareness through practical, student-involved projects.
