Posted by School District of Philadelphia Green Futures Program on December 12, 2023

We’re thrilled to announce the Call for Proposals for the April 25, 2024, Summit for Sustainable Schools sponsored by the School District of Philadelphia GreenFutures Program. We aim to foster collaboration among regional institutions, government agencies, and corporate and non-profit partners to support a socially responsible and environmentally conscious education system.
