Healthy Schools Network (HSN), the nation’s leading advocate for children’s environmental health in schools, is seeking a visionary Executive Director to guide the organization’s next phase of national impact.
The Earth’s climate is changing in unprecedented ways. Across the US, we are seeing more frequent and intense storms, floods, heat waves, and wildfires, plus the spread of infectious diseases.
For 30 years, Healthy Schools Network has led the national movement to protect children and school staff from indoor air hazards, toxic exposures, mold, chemicals, and climate-related risks.
A growing body of research in environmental health and psychology demonstrates that access to natural environments plays a critical role in supporting children’s cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.
Healthy Schools Network and the Coalition for Healthier Schools will mark the 30th anniversary of the healthy schools movement by featuring a national speaker series and expert panels on April 13–17, 2026.
