In its original format (FY09-FY12), the Eco-Ambassador program was held throughout the academic year, with participants attending one meeting each month that covered a different sustainability-related topic. A “condensed" format of the program, where participants attend two 4-hour workshops, was launched in 2012. During the workshops, participants receive training on the history of sustainability at Tufts, behavior change and community-based social marketing, climate change, energy, water, waste and recycling, transportation, and purchasing. Upon attending 8 full-year workshops or 2 condensed workshops, participants are considered full-fledged Eco-Ambassadors.
