Creative Change is the bridge between educators and leaders in green business sectors such as sustainable manufacturing, green building, brownfield redevelopment, and renewable energy. We collaborate with businesses in several ways:

We provide curriculum and programming for projects or bids that require an educational component. Topics include green building, energy efficiency, storm water, brownfields redevelopment and more. More
We feature exemplary business practices and cutting-edge green innovations through our curriculum and teacher education programs. More
We offer sponsorship opportunities. More

Need an educational component for your project or proposal? We can help.

Federal stimulus money is bringing new opportunities in green construction, energy retrofits, brownfield redevelopment, and storm water management. If your bid requires an educational component, Creative Change can give you a competitive edge. Our in-depth curricula and comprehensive support packages for schools and universities cover a full range of stimulus sectors:

Our Ecological Footprint program offers a solid foundation in all areas of sustainability.
Our Energy program engages K-12 students in understanding and developing sustainable energy and green building solutions for homes and schools.
Our Town, our sustainable community program, can engage youth and/or adult learners in the science and economics of brownfield redevelopment and urban revitalization. The program also provides real-world, hands-on learning about land use, storm water management and impervious surfaces.
Sustainable by Design addresses green manufacturing and product life cycles of everything from furniture to lighting.

Don't settle for educational "programs" that provide little more than handouts at an assembly. Stand out from the competition with our high-quality packages of curriculum, professional development and support. Contact us to discuss your project needs.

Gain broad exposure for your sustainable business practices

Is your company engaged in cutting-edge sustainable approaches? Do you wish more people understood and valued your "triple bottom line" practices? Creative Change can help. Our curricula and education programs deliver best practices in sustainability to professors, teachers, students and citizens around the country.

We can:

Highlight your good work through our lessons, case studies, and other instructional materials.
Enable you to share your work directly with educators as a guest speaker or through teacher education webinars.

Examples:

A polymer scientist from Ford Motor Company presented on the topic of biodegradable polymers and their applications in manufacturing at a "Sustainable by Design" program event.
Representatives from Steelcase provided a "webinar" on green chemistry and manufacturing at a summer institute for teachers.

Our curricula also contain numerous case studies of businesses with environmentally and socially responsible practices. Can you business be the next one we feature? Contact us to discuss opportunities.
