The Sustainability Action Program (SAP) is focused on first years and is dedicated to enabling YOU to become an effective change agent. In SAP, you will have the chance to build community with other students, staff, faculty, and community partners working on sustainability projects on campus and beyond. In a series of workshops, field trips, fun dinners, activities and projects, we will orient you to the sustainability community at Dartmouth, engage you in making REAL change and help you chart the course you want to pursue while you’re here. You’ll leave SAP with a strong sense of community and confidence and skills to make impactful changes here at Dartmouth and in the world!

​

In the Fall term, we will get you grounded in the sustainability context at Dartmouth- While building a strong community through events, dinners, and field trips, you will learn how sustainability systems work here at our institution. You will build a solid foundation for understanding how food, energy, waste, water, and transportation work at Dartmouth and you will generate ideas for opportunities for improvement within these systems! 

​

In the Winter and Spring terms, we will train you to be change makers by equipping you with tools such as design thinking, systems thinking, and behavior change theory. Then YOU (and a team of fellow SAP-lings) will design and implement a project on a topic you care about that makes Dartmouth even greener! (Get it? Big Green?!) SAP-lings have gone on to do amazing things in the world of sustainability and we can't wait to see what mark your class will leave on this place!
