The Green Ambassador Program is a partnership between the Trent Sustainability Office and Housing that supports sustainable living in residence. As a Green Ambassador, you'll help students discover simple ways to reduce their environmental impact and build everyday habits that support climate action and the circular economy.
Students living on campus have a unique opportunity to make a real difference. With tens of thousands of small decisions made each day, individual efforts quickly add up. Green Ambassadors work within residence communities to connect students with resources, answer questions, and inspire action. Whether someone is unsure where to start or already passionate about sustainability, Green Ambassadors help make it easier to take the next step.
If you're looking for a meaningful way to get involved, develop your leadership skills, and support others in creating a more sustainable campus, consider becoming a Green Ambassador.
