Master Composter Certificate | Course 7: Compost Advocacy and Community Building | Virtual Session |

What is the current landscape of city-wide compost advocacy, and how can you get involved? What techniques are more effective to build compost awareness, engagement, and collective empowerment? Discuss how compost and composting is relevant to your community and brainstorm how to engage your community in composting! If this is your final workshop, you’ll be presenting your capstone project to composters who are also eager to create civic change!

This course is one of the required courses for securing a Master Composter certification through the NYC Community Compost Network (formerly NYC Compost Project). This is recommended as the seventh course to take in your path to certification, though you can take the workshops in any order. Please note that in addition to the required workshops, 9 hours of compost-related service learning and 2 field trips to compost-processing sites (of which Snug Harbor is one!). For certification through Snug Harbor, we also require a capstone project, which consists of a five-minute presentation during this workshop, but we understand people’s comfortability varies, so talk to us! Some people will attend this workshop twice, once to brainstorm, and again to present.
