Empower Students, Empower the World

Our Mission:

Note Green Tower Sustainability is no longer active.

Green Tower Sustainability’s (GTS), mission is to provide free virtual mentor services, resources and leadership training to environmentally and socially progressive student groups on college campuses around the world. Using a business framework, GTS’s team of experts provide key resources to enable student organizations to be effective change agents for sustainability. GTS is a project of Green2Gold and the Environmental Education Group.  

Learn from Our Model:  The creators of Green Tower Sustainability worked with dozens of students and volunteers to create a virtual network to share best practices for college student sustainability leaders.  GTS conducted dozens of virtual mentorship calls and provided several workshops and regular online content to students.  The mission to help sustainable student leaders enhance their positive impact is very important as college students tend to lead the way in many important social and environmental movements for change world-wide.  We would be more than willing to share what we learned with any organizations interested in virtual mentorship to promote positive social or environmental change (as long as the service is free for students).  We learned a great deal about what tactics worked to engage with students virtually and which ones didn’t, how students react to such programming, how to recruit volunteers, staff and members (and much more).  If you have any questions, please contact: Ian.bevan@presidiomba.org.

Thank You to Everyone Who Supported Us!  Your efforts are truly appreciated.

What?: What is a roundtable call?: A Roundtable call is a FREE recurring meeting designed to provide ongoing support for one particular project area such as “Sustainable Events” or “Green Fees”.  We also have general roundtable calls for general organizational strategies and troubleshooting.

We are constantly expanding our roundtable program and are doing so based off of our current members needs.  If you would like to suggest a topic for a recurring roundtable discussion, please contact us at greentowersustainability@gmail.com.
