Coordinate volunteer service work in support of our OC parks, trails and historic sites. Increase public awareness of our parks, trails and historic and cultural assets. Bring together existing volunteer groups, businesses, community leaders and private citizens to form a partnership to inspire volunteerism, civic involvement and philanthropy in support of our parks system.
For nearly 50 years, OEC has helped put in place programs, such as the Bottle Bill, that touch the lives of every Oregonian on a daily basis, empowering them to be part of the solution to environmental challenges while enabling them to lead healthier lives. For example, we have played a leadership role in making it possible for Oregonians to recycle at their curbs, take part in “car-sharing” programs, send their kids to “Eco-Healthy” certified childcare facilities, and purchase cleaner energy and less toxic products. Our current program priorities are: climate protection, clean water and toxic-free kids.
At schools across Oregon, students, teachers and staff are making a difference in their communities with programs to recycle, reduce waste, save energy and conserve water.
Oregon Green Schools is helping with hands-on assistance,curriculum and funding resources, as well as recognition and events.
Oregon Green Schools is a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization that was formed in 1997. We are dedicated to energizing and engaging students through student-driven activities that advance their understanding and ownership of sustainability. We appreciate your donation of bottles and cans! Learn more about us at www.OregonGreenSchools.org
