We are excited to welcome you to the Green & Healthy Schools Symposium in Cincinnati, Ohio with Keynote Speaker Brenda Kessler, a national leader with Children & Nature Network who is advancing green schoolyards through community-driven partnerships across the United States and globally.

Join us at Cincinnati Public Schools Rockdale Academy & Learning Garden for an energizing event dedicated to district-wide green sustainability while fostering the well-being of communities across our region and beyond. The Symposium will bring together visionary school district leaders, educators, students, school food service champions, city officials, and partner organizations to explore strategies for embedding and sustaining green schoolyards, green career pathways, and school community wellness throughout a school district. Presenters, including student leaders, will conduct engaging sessions to activate collective impact through collaboration and equip attendees with resources to ignite action.
