Illinois Green Schools Project: School Registration (2022-23 Cohort)

Thank you for your interest in the Illinois Green Schools Project 2022-23 school year cohort! The Illinois Green Schools Project, a program of Illinois Green Alliance, is a project-based program that supports K-12 schools in devising and implementing no- to low-cost sustainability initiatives.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:
School registration is due Monday, September 12, 2022. Submit your registration by completing the form below.
• One registration form is allowed per school.
• Districts are encouraged to submit separate registration forms for each individual school that is interested in participating.
• While Illinois Green will make every effort to match a Green Schools Mentor with each school registrant, the number of school/mentor pairings will be contingent upon the number of mentors available.
