Formed in March 2001, the San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance (SFGSA) promotes inclusive, community-driven processes that create and maintain healthy, environmentally sustainable learning environments in San Francisco's schools.

San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance (SFGSA) envisions a future in which each schoolyard operates in concert with its neighborhood and local ecology to foster higher academic achievement, increased environmental stewardship, creativity and community building.

In order to realize this vision for schoolyards, the SFGSA:
– Partners with community members, educators, students, public officials and other supporters
– Actively encourages the integration of green schoolyards with student learning
– Makes the case for green schoolyards based on research and best practices
– Advocates for favorable public policy for green schoolyards
– Secures financial and volunteer resources, and
– Advocates and encourages efficacy and sustainability in the creation and stewardship of each green schoolyard
