A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
The Office of Sustainability Staff trains the residential Life Resident Assistants in a train-the-trainer model. The RA's are then asked to work with and teach their residents about how to move out sustainably. The Office of Sustainability also trains student volunteers who want to work at the Sustainable Move Out event.
We work with many organizations to offer a Sustainable Move Out program to all residents. We partner with Goodwill, the Women's Center, and the Foodbank to donate students unwanted items.

A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
Associated Students' Environmental Resource Center conducts peer to peer waste bin education each fall. The program involves a team of educators standing near waste/recycling/compost receptacles to greet new students and teach them how to use our waste system. Since many of our students come from areas that don't collect compost, this serves as an introduction to composting and and introduction to sustainability programming.
A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (2nd program):
The Environmental Resource Center students focus on the students at the Cesar Chavez Student Union as a way to reach out to students from all areas of campus. All students are the target audience and it is the only student center on campus and where most people eat lunch.
ERC offers Zero Waste training across the campus:
How can we help SF State go Zero Waste?
