West Greenwich, RI – The Greene School (TGS), a tuition-free statewide public charter school and Rhode Island’s only Expeditionary Learning School (eleducation.org), is accepting applications for volunteers to serve on its Board of Directors who have expertise in Finance, Business, Facilities, or Education. Board members are charged with the duties and responsibilities of school committees as outlined in the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island. TGS’s Board meets in person monthly on the school’s 70-acre rural campus in West Greenwich, RI. Board members serve on committees that also meet monthly or quarterly.
Candidates will be invited to visit the school and attend a Board meeting before applying. If interested, please send an email to: TGSboard@thegreeneschool.org or call Joshua Laplante, Head of School, at 401-397-8600.
“The Green School is always looking for partners who can help carry our founders’ mission of environmental education as we continue to evolve as a diverse community of environmental stewards,” said Mr. Laplante. “In addition,” he continued, “It is important to note that the responsibilities of The Green School Board include those of non-profit organizations and school committee members.”
Added TGS’s Board President, Dr. Amy Pratt, “TGS is doing great work teaching students and guiding their growth into environmentally literate leaders and citizens. Come explore how you can help!”
Using the school’s 70-acre campus and fieldwork sites across the State of Rhode Island, The Greene School emphasizes environmental education to connect students to the natural world. The school’s mission is to develop citizens and leaders engaged in finding peaceful and sustainable solutions to local and global challenges.
TGS has been ranked as the #1 public charter high school in Rhode Island and its teachers were ranked the best of all public charter high school teachers in the state. Earlier this year, Ms. Sarah Kristiansen, English Language Arts teacher, was recognized as the District Educator of the Year.
In 2022, the Rhode Island Environmental Education Association (RIEEA) named The Greene School its Environmental Education Organization of the Year, commemorating its commitment to shaping the next generation of environmental stewards.
