The Capstone: Creating A Sustainability Proposal program is a non-degree course that helps students develop a sustainability proposal, taught in English at the University of Colorado System. It's for students with a pre-high school education level and can be completed online in a few weeks.

The curriculum focuses on sustainability principles, such as environmental impact and social responsibility, and helps students develop skills in research, analysis, and proposal writing. Students will work on a hands-on project to create a sustainability proposal and learn how to present their ideas effectively.

After completing this program, students can pursue careers as sustainability consultants, environmental specialists, proposal writers, project managers, or community developers. They can work in non-profit organizations, government agencies, or private companies, applying their knowledge to create sustainable solutions and promote environmental awareness.
