GreenLight student leaders, known as Solutioneers, have the opportunity to make a positive impact in the community and grow themselves as professionals before they graduate college.
What are students saying about GreenLight?
“My time with GreenLight has truly been one of the highlights of my college career. I joined during my Sophomore year hoping to gain some professional skills that would help me in the business world, and I got so much more than that! Literally every role I’ve had within GreenLight has helped prepare me for life after graduation.”
“I was blown away by the order and depth of the organization. This is not simply a student club. This is a highly-organized, hierarchical team that enables students to gain real-world applicable experience. GLS has enhanced my collegiate experience and expanded my knowledge of sustainability outside the classroom.”
“GreenLight has been such a value add to my college experience—even as a junior. This is my first semester in the organization, and my project team and interactions with leadership have been stellar. I’ve been looking for ways to get involved with ‘green’ organizations on campus as a business sustainability major, and GreenLight has hands down been what I’ve been looking for.”
“GreenLight is a geat place to interact and make friends, learn working on real life projects, hone your managerial and team work skills while balancing work and study.”
“I really enjoyed the process of working on the project throughout the semester. The GreenLight GuideLines and Leadership Team were instrumental in my group’s success.”
“Thank you GreenLight Solutions Foundation for everything I was able to learn with you. Getting involved with you guys added so much to my study abroad experience and I highly recommend everyone interested to join GreenLight Solutions for a transformation towards a more sustainable future.”

Student-Led Chapters
Our chapters are formed and led by college students passionate about sustainable business transformation, and they provide opportunities for students to collaborate together to make a difference in their community.
Projects & Student Experience
Our Student-Led Projects are where the rubber hits the road for our impact in the business community. Project Teams consist of 3-6 students, including a Project Lead. Students commit to an average of 5 hours/week for their projects.
Students follow our GreenLight GuideLines 6-phase project process, which takes projects from ideation through implementation. Our custom curriculum includes Solutioneer training, Project Lead training, helpful resources, and more.
Leadership Team (LT) members coordinate Student-Led Projects, on-campus operations, chapter recruitment, professional development opportunities, Solutioneer Showcase events, and team bonding activities. LT members are voted in by their peers and serve the greater good of their chapter.
At the end of each term, students present their projects at our bi-annual Solutioneer Showcase event, which brings together students, business leaders, and community members to network together, enjoy food, and celebrate our shared success.
Student Support
GreenLight Solutions Foundation staff facilitate weekly project support and mentorship for project and individual success. Learning outcomes are centered around sustainability project management best practices and career readiness.
Project Mentors and Academic Advisors support student chapters to ensure projects provide quality outcomes and students develop professionals skills.
