BSP is preparing to launch a certification program called the "Green Janitor Education Program" for custodians at a California State Department headquarters near downtown Sacramento. In this program, janitors will develop competency in sustainability efforts in the operations and maintenance of buildings. The program covers an introduction to sustainability concepts, green cleaning practices, and water and energy efficiency. The workers take two exams and are certified upon completion of the program (30 hours) and passing the examinations. Join us in this unique program to give janitors the skills they need to have a seat at the sustainability table!
What is the volunteer opportunity?
We need 1 bilingual Spanish/English volunteer to work with the only English-speaking student in class. The volunteer will guide the student through understanding concepts, translating content from Spanish to English when necessary, and coordinating with the instructor to supplement learning.
