Green Volusia Hosts Kickoff Event for 2025 Climate Smart Floridians Program

Posted On: September 15, 2025

Green Volusia, in partnership with UF/IFAS Extension Volusia County, is launching the 2025 Climate Smart Floridians Program to help residents learn practical ways to reduce their environmental impact.

The program will kick off with an in-person session from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, at the Stetson Aquatic Center, 2636 Alhambra Avenue, DeLand. Attendees will explore how everyday choices at home can help protect and preserve Florida’s natural resources. Complimentary refreshments and light bites will be provided.

Following the kickoff event, all remaining sessions will be hosted online. Each session is designed as a stand-alone class, and participants are welcome to attend only those that align with their interests.

This year’s event is sponsored in part by Stetson University’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience.
