Do you ever find yourself standing at the recycling bin wondering what can and can’t be recycled, and WHY? Curious about climate change and how your individual actions can make a difference? Wondering how you can get more engaged in your local community? Get answers to these questions and more by becoming a WSU Sustainable Community Steward!
The Spring 2024 training runs on Mondays starting April 22nd through May 20th.
By enrolling, you receive university-level training grounded in climate change science relevant both within Snohomish County and globally.
