About the Center 
Established in the 2020-21 school year, the Dutchess BOCES Center for Sustainability & Climate Education engages and empowers K-12 educators and students to contribute to a socially and ecologically sustainable community through learner-centered curricula and experiential learning. In service to that mission, the Center and its partners will offer a full range of support through conferences, workshops, learning communities, student activities, and other events focused on the areas of leadership development, professional learning opportunities for educators and community members, curriculum design, development and evaluation, student empowerment and engagement, and strategic planning for a sustainable future.
