Boys and Girls High School Passive House Training Center

The Passive House Training Center at Boys and Girls High School in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn will be the first facility of its kind in a New York City public school. The training center will transform an underused classroom into a hands-on hub linking climate literacy with equitable workforce development for a front-line community. Built on long-term partnerships with NYC Public Schools and Pratt, the center will be a home for programs delivering practical training in energy-efficient construction and high-performance building systems. Student learning outcomes are tracked through skills-based assessments, project completion, and participation in certification-aligned activities, while career pathways are supported through exposure to post-secondary programs, internships, and green workforce networks. Curriculum, outcomes, and partnerships are documented to support future replication and adaptation across school districts here and abroad.
