The Environmental Center (EC) is a student-based organization funded by the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College and governed by a student majority board of directors. Students work on six different teams: Local Food, Zero-Waste, Education and Outreach, Media and Communications, Climate Action, and Sustainable Business. During the school year, the EC has a full-time coordinator and intern who provide opportunities for students to take positive action on the issues they care about through jobs, research projects, and volunteer opportunities. The EC is available to the entire community and the broader region.
