A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities:
SCOOP performs sustainability assessments of department offices on campus. Student consultants are fully trained on how to measure energy, recycling, lighting, and other practices. They then work with offices to implement changes and train at least one SCOOP Champion per office consulted. This person is educated and empowered to act as a role model for sustainable behavior and office practices to their co-workers, and are recognized for their leadership.
A brief description of how the employee educators are selected:
SCOOP Champions self-select as the peer-to-peer outreach leader for sustainability in their office. Either they are responding to solicitation for interest from the group or they have reached out with interest having heard of / been aware of the group.
A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive to prepare them to conduct peer outreach:
SCOOP team members work directly with participating office staff, in particular the SCOOP Champions, throughout the consultative process. They also host workshops and brown bag luncheons to connect these staff members with resources and support services from across campus that can help in their efforts.
A brief description of the financial and/or administrative support the institution provides to the program (e.g. annual budget and/or paid faculty/staff coordination):
SCOOP receives annual operational funding as well as wages for the Team Manager from the Institute for Sustainable Development. The Sustainability Programs Manager advises the group and spends 2-5 hours / week supporting their work.
