Goals of the Green Futures Program:
Our goal is to build comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable pipelines for students into the green economy, offering them the tools, networks, and knowledge needed to succeed in a rapidly growing and diverse sector of our regional and global economy. We’re doing this by…
- Raising Awareness: Showcasing career opportunities in the green economy across government, nonprofits, and businesses for all SU majors and minors.
- Building Green Skills: Connecting students to SU’s environmental programs and to regional partnerships that build students’ skills, environmental and climate literacy, and industry-relevant certifications.
- Mentorship: Pairing students with SU faculty, alumni, and employers who are established green professionals.
- Fostering Equity: Developing inclusive pipelines to green careers, ensuring that underrepresented groups—including people of color, women, and rural communities—have equal access to the benefits of the green economy.
- Collaborating with Professionals and Employers: Regularly engaging with employers in the green economy to keep SU’s academic and career support services aligned with current job market needs.
Join us in shaping a more sustainable tomorrow. Through workshops, online resources, individual career consultations and mentorship, and hands-on experiences, we’re investing in the next generation of environmental leaders.
