More About Sustainability Ambassador’s Great Student Writing Program

 

The Great Student Writing Program (GSWP) is a series of writing programs run by the Sustainability Ambassadors Writers Group for students in grades 6-12. These programs challenge students to write about topics in the realm of sustainability through open-ended questions. Student entries are then judged by writers in the SAWG. After judging, results of the competition are published on SA’s website and all participants are provided comprehensive feedback.
