Master Composter Program

The Sustainability Academy’s Master Composter Program is a free 8-week course that will provide you with in-depth knowledge about home composting. Students of all levels are welcome. The course covers hot pile, cold pile, and worm composting methods, and explores composting methods for all types of spaces, from large gardens to kitchens. You do not need a backyard to participate in this course and start composting at home!

This is a great opportunity to meet people in your community with common interests; learn more about soil biodiversity, soil ecology, and solid waste reduction practices; and connect with local resource conservation organizations where you can do meaningful volunteer work.

Note: Master Composter students are required to attend at least six out of seven classes, and volunteer 20 hours within a year of course completion, to receive a Master Composter certificate.

Date: Tuesday evenings: March 11 through May 6 (no class on April 8)
