Healthy Schools Network

Healthy Schools Network is an award-winning national not-for-profit organization dedicated to assuring that every American child has an environmentally healthy (high performance/green) school. We pursue our mission through a deliberate commitment to collaborations in research, local education, and policy advocacy across three interrelated program areas: 1) healthy school siting, design, and construction standards; 2) green (nontoxic) supply, purchasing, and maintenance; and 3) new mandates for environmental public health interventions for children in harm’s way. Each is undertaken with the understanding that “it takes a village” to change schools, with collaborative work at all levels. We organize horizontally (not vertically) by seeking out and engaging multiple stakeholders: advocates from the fields of health, environment, labor, parent and disability groups, and many others. These groups are united via the national Coalition for Healthier Schools convened to “provide the platform and the forum” for environmental health at school. As its coordinator, we track and interact with hundreds of organizational members from all of the states. We are also distinguished by our refusal to accept in-kind or cash support from chemical and carpeting companies and our long standing refusal to endorse products commonly sold to schools.
