The Sustainability Outreach Team is a group of student SustainableUMD Ambassadors promoting a culture of sustainability at UMD. The Outreach Team has also been known as the LEAF team: Lead, Educate, Act, Facilitate!  Ambassadors receive intensive and ongoing training in sustainability, leadership, and outreach.

Invite the Outreach Team to bring sustainability tabling, activities, and workshops to your group, team, or area by emailing sustainability@umd.edu.
