The Bluegrass Youth Sustainability Council is a student-led, project-based coalition of environmentally passionate student-leaders from 11 Lexington public + private high schools. Led by two Co-Student Facilitators and eight Project Committee Chairs and mentored by Tresine Logsdon, the BYSC meets as a Full Council monthly and in Project Committees every two weeks to discuss collaborative outreach projects, short-term and long-term goals, partnership prospects and leadership and post-secondary opportunities in all areas of sustainability including energy management, outdoor classrooms, waste management, water quality, air quality and much more.
The BYSC serves as an extraordinary leadership and collaborative opportunity for our area youth leaders who deeply care about environmental quality and are motivated to work together with local experts and volunteers on projects to improve sustainability. Simply put, the BYSC is a team of like-minded individuals poised to raise awareness and promote improved sustainability throughout our community and our world.
