About Cynthia Walters
Cynthia Walters, M.Ed leads the Green Schoolyards Action Network, a program of Green Umbrella Regional Climate Collaborative in the Greater Cincinnati area. Cynthia develops school district sustainability models in the areas of outdoor teaching & learning, green workforce development, garden to cafeteria programs, and wellness policy. Cynthia is deeply engaged in transforming the education landscape by designing and implementing tools for environment and food system change through collaboration with school district decision-makers, municipalities, partner organizations, and youth & local community networks. Walters is the author of the Slow School Wellness Policy Tool Kit that was released in 2024. Walters recent projects include expanding the K-12 green career pathway and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP for Schools), allowing students to obtain graduation credentials for selling the food they grow to school district foodservice operations. Cynthia believes effective systems change begins at the local level and is successful only through collaboration by customizing successful models with those who are affected the most.
