Process
Welcome to the Process Page where you can read a summary of the process, and find links to specific process instructions and forms for different types of participants.
Participation Process Overview
The focus of Minnesota GreenStep Schools is institutional participation of school districts and individual schools, both of which can receive recognition through the program. But the program also offers participation for individuals who work on school greening activities as “Green Step Team Members,” and “GreenStep Resource Organizations” such as non-profits, businesses, and other groups wishing to support the efforts of districts and schools with information, materials, time, or financial support.
