Registration deadline is September 15th for schools. \n​​​​​​​Register your school through our Online Registration Form!

DESCRIPTION:Passionate about green buildings and building up the next generation of sustainability professionals? Interested in supporting a school through their sustainability journey? Join the 2025-2026 Green Schools Quest as a Mentor! \nREGISTER HERE for the Zoom info session. \nSince 2013\, Missouri Gateway Green Building Council in partnership with MEEA has run the Green Schools Quest\, a friendly competition between schools in Missouri and Southern Illinois to complete a student-led\, low- or no-cost sustainability project within the school year.

In April\, the Judges announce the winners at the Annual Green Schools Event\, and winners take home a cash prize and a trophy. \nGreen Mentors support the school throughout the project in different ways depending on the school. We are actively recruiting 80 mentors for the 202-2026 school year. Sign up for an info session to learn more about how you can help a school go green! \nPlease REGISTER for the Zoom info session.
