Green Team Promotion
You are doing great things. Make sure to take time to promote what you are doing. Communication is the bridge that connects people with your good work and will help create funding opportunities and recruit new partners and green team members. From social media to email and media outreach, promotion will help you succeed. Let’s get started.
Social Media
Social media is one of the most effective tools green teams can use to engage the community in its efforts and tell a compelling story. Sustainable Jersey for Schools individual certification actions often include promotional tips in the “What to do and how to do it” and/or the Resources section.
If you have not already done so, connect your school, school green team and personal social media to Sustainable Jersey for Schools and then we will follow you. Tag Sustainable Jersey for Schools in your posts and we will share your content!
