Refresh Block
Schools Program Refresh
Sustainable Jersey for Schools will pause the 2027 certification cycle for a year-long refresh of the certification program and website. The refresh will include updates to program actions, the certification application, and website functionality, with the new website launching in Fall 2027 and certification returning in 2028. Grants, technical assistance, and events will continue throughout 2027.
Join us for one of our 30 minute info sessions to review key timeline details, what to expect during the transition period, and new features coming in 2028. Both sessions will end with dedicated time for Q&A.
