Through participation in the Seaside Sustainability Consulting Program, you will work with our expert staff to guide you in the process of implementing practices to create a more sustainable community.
First, you will complete an evaluation that serves as an analysis of the institution’s systems and environment with our Sustainability Consulting staff. This evaluation is built on the Three Pillars of Sustainability; Economy, Society, and the Environment, and is rooted in the US Department of Education’s flagship recognition methodology, the Green Ribbon Institutions Award. This will allow us to determine areas of need in terms of sustainability, and guide our consultants on the type of advice and solutions we can give.

Education, Leadership and Resources
Seaside Sustainability's Sustainability Consulting Program is a comprehensive program that works on a local, regional, and national level to guide any organization in their journey to sustainability!
Our consulting department will work closely with school administrators, students, and community partners, to provide guidance on how to implement sustainable practices through different comprehensive services.
At Seaside, we believe in protecting the environment through education and action. Our goal is to encourage the development of environmentally conscious global citizens and have these actions extend outside the school into the community.
The strength of our program comes from involving the students in the sustainability efforts. We offer guidance and your team will implement the projects. This program is hands-on, comprehensive education that will educate each participating member on what needs to be done to be sustainable.
