Resilient Schools Consortium (RiSC)
The Resilient Schools Consortium (RiSC) curriculum explores climate change, resilience, environmental justice, and community vulnerability and empowers student action. Started in New York City as a partnership including National Wildlife Federation, New Jersey Audubon launched an expanded version of RiSC in New Jersey in 2021. The RiSC program is currently funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Eco-Schools New Jersey
In collaboration with National Wildlife Federation, New Jersey Audubon implements the Eco-Schools program across the state of NJ.
Eco-Schools provides you with the framework to make positive, lasting change in your school community. Easily integrated into your existing curriculum with support, resources, and training provided by NJ Audubon’s education team, so you still meet the educational standards you need to teach, all without taking extra time out of the school day.
Schools implement action plans created by student-led teams, and made up of user-friendly action cards, centering equitable nature-based solutions. Through student action, students think creatively and critically about environmental and sustainability challenges at their school and develop place-based solutions, including climate change actions. As students implement their plans, progress is measured, helping them gain recognition with schoolwide awards.
In addition to specific project support, New Jersey Audubon gratefully acknowledges our additional funders including:
