New Hampshire’s First Lady Valerie Sununu in partnership with Project Green Schools and UNH welcomes you to participate in 2021-2022 Bridges House Youth Sustainability Council (BHYSC). Please elect 2 student delegates to the BHYSC to represent your school.
Students who participate will be nominated officially to the First Lady’s official Youth Sustainability Council to share ideas about promoting sustainability throughout the Granite State and take part in the UNH Community Changemaker Challenge in the Spring for sustainability projects that can be implemented in schools, or the community. Participants may be accompanied by one representative, such as a teacher or advisor.
Once you nominate students to the Council, using the registration link below, we will share a sample announcement to distribute in your newsletter communications to let your school community know what students are working on. Participants may be accompanied by one representative, such as a teacher or advisor.
