The Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community (GCTLC) is a collaborative effort between Beyond Benign and the American Chemical Society (ACS) Green Chemistry Institute, aimed at creating a supportive and nurturing online space for teachers, educators, students, industry stakeholders, and all those interested in green chemistry education. Our mission is to foster a diverse and accessible community of practice that supports collaboration, networking, mentorship, and resource sharing to advance the integration of green and sustainable chemistry principles across the education continuum. As a teaching and learning community, our vision is to empower responsible global citizens with green chemistry knowledge, skills, and tools to transform science education and ensure a sustainable future for all.

We are driven by a shared philosophy statement and guided by a Code of Conduct to create a strong sense of belonging for all members. Join us in our mission to create transformative change in the education system and be part of our professional family. Welcome to your new online community space where you can make yourself at home
