JSP joins Kentucky Green Schools Community Partners

JSP is a Kentucky Green Schools Community Partner

Josephine Sculpture Park was proud to be invited to join the Kentucky Green Schools (KGS) program as a community partner.


According to the KGS website, the program is "designed to inspire students to develop environmentally friendly behavior and to feel empowered to take active steps toward creating a greener and healthier world—starting with their local environment at school."



As a KGS community partner, JSP offers support, resources, and experiences to the network of Kentucky Green Schools. (Learn how your students' school can become a Kentucky Green School here.)


Specifically, JSP offers unique school field trip experiences that blend arts and environmental education. Arts-based environmental education activities are a fantastic way to enhance individuals’ environmental literacy and connection with nature, helping to inspire a long-term commitment to environmental stewardship.



Our incredible staff of professional artists and educators are available to lead your school field trip on a guided tour of the park or customize an activity, such as nature-based art or service learning. Guided field trips can be aligned with Kentucky’s Academic Standards (Science, Arts and Humanities, Language Arts, and Math). 



JSP hosts about 500 students each year through school field trips and would love to reach more students! Explore JSP's guided and self-guided field trip options, and submit a field trip request form here. We also offer free activity downloads on our website for all visitors to enjoy, including sculpture coloring sheets, a nature journaling worksheet and an art scavenger hunt.



JSP's partnership with the Kentucky Green Schools program exemplifies our shared commitment to work with our local communities to inspire action that helps makes the world a better place for all.



KGS is a joint program of the Kentucky Association for Environmental Education (KAEE) and the Kentucky Environmental Education Council (KEEC). JSP is a proud member of KAEE.
