The goal of this program is to teach students how to incorporate sustainable practices into their everyday lives. Students know that their future is at stake and that the impacts of climate change will affect everyone.

This program will work toward the following goals to provide environmental education for Chula Vista youths:

• Students will learn how to incorporate sustainable practices into their everyday lives 

• Students will have greater access to fresh, organic vegetables through the school gardens to teach them how food choices affect climate change and the environment

• Students will receive training on the science of composting and how to keep a food scrap diversion log

• Students will have access to community composting and resources for home or neighborhood composting 

• Students will develop public speaking, civic engagement, and leadership skills as they share sustainability presentations with their peers and the local community through outreach events 

Each year, club students would pass on the program, training, and knowledge to the next year's students to continue this program through the years. SBSCN is always working with the community to develop mutually-beneficial partnerships and has relationships with the City of Chula Vista and with Sweetwater Union High School District STEM Instructors

Y4SF Students Taking Action

On September 12th, Y4SF students from Otay Ranch, Bonita and Hilltop High School attended the city council meeting to support the single-use plastics reduction ordinance. Facing Chula Vista Mayor John McCann along with the rest of the city council, Y4SF students prepared speeches to express their care and support for such an important cause.
