Emerging Green Builders (EGB)

Who We Are

Emerging Green Builders are students and young professionals dedicated to becoming and recruiting the future leaders of the green building movement.

EGB groups around the country offer young people the opportunity to get involved in green building locally, gain access to USGBC resources, and participate in local events.

What We Do

EGB projects include:

  • the annual USGBC Natural Talent Design Competition
  • a forum at Greenbuild
  • a job/internship posting list resources for green building
  • education and university programs
