Green Academy:  Students in the Green Academy will be inspired both in and outside the traditional classroom to become stewards of their environment, leaders in their communities, and innovators in the field of green technology.

Mentoring Program:  Woodside High School is looking for career mentors.  The mentor program will pair students with professionals to discuss both academic and career goals.  The student’s career interests are wide-ranging within the design and architecture fields, with many students having a passion for green building practices.  WHS is hoping that you, or someone that you know, might be able to participate in this program as a mentor.

Commitment:  Approximately 2-3 hours per month, with all interactions done remotely, either through zoom, email, phone, or text messages from January to June 2021.
