Welcome To Green Schools National Network

Green & Healthy Schools are growing at an astonishing rate across the United States.  The U.S. Department of Education’s development of the Green Ribbon Schools Award in 2012 has stimulated awareness and interest in all schools across the country to become Green, Healthy and Sustainable Schools.  K-12 Schools have indicated a need to develop a national organization that connects their schools to resources, services, programs and products to help them in becoming Green & Healthy.

The Green Schools National Network (GSNN) which is a non-profit organization advances the national Green & Healthy Schools Movement by connecting like-minded and passionate education, non-profit, corporate and public sector individuals and programs.  GSNN is the national umbrella organization that works collaboratively with others to improve education in the United States.  Education for sustainability helps young people gain the knowledge, skills, motivation and hands-on experiences to make the world a better place for everyone and everything.

Contact the Green Schools National Network to connect with others who are fostering the development of green schools throughout the country.

Jim McGrath, President/CEO of the Green Schools National Network
