By working with the Michigan Community Service Commission's Learn & Serve program and the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative we are able to leverage statewide structures to make grants directly to school districts, support school districts as they institutionalize the programs and provide on-going professional development to educators. Scaling the GREEN model will deepen student understanding of science by working directly on the environmental problems facing their communities and develop the skills and personal commitment inherent in environmental literacy.","Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative, Michigan Community Service Commission, NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative, West Michigan Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative, Southeast Michigan Stewardship Coalition (SEMIS), Adams Township School District, Lake Linden–Hubbell Public School District, Stanton Township Public Schools, Houghton–Portage Township School District, North Muskegon Public Schools, Montague Area Public Schools, Brandeis University / Center for Youth and Communities"
