Environmental Education
Olaunu builds and delivers environmental education and stormwater training for schools, municipal agencies, and community organizations, in English and in Spanish. Education sets the foundation for sustainable change leading to environmental protection: science-based education and training build knowledge and cause behavioral changes that lead to long term solutions.
Who is the training for?
Programs are built for three audiences: municipal and agency staff who have to meet permit obligations, construction and maintenance crews who build and service stormwater assets, and schools and community organizations.
Daniel Apt has served since 2021 as Chair of the National Green Infrastructure Certification Program (NGICP) Certification Committee, and Mary Vondrak's expertise includes workforce development training.
Is the training available in Spanish?
Yes. Olaunu delivers genuine bilingual English and Spanish service, which enables authentic engagement across Latin American and Spanish-speaking US markets. That applies to training material and to delivery in the room, not to a translated handout.
Bilingual delivery matters most in exactly the crews and communities whose day-to-day decisions determine whether a stormwater asset keeps working after it is built.

Frequently asked questions
What is NGICP certification?
The National Green Infrastructure Certification Program certifies workers who build and maintain green stormwater infrastructure. It sets a common standard for inspection, construction, and maintenance skills across jurisdictions.
Can Olaunu run training for a municipal permit obligation?
Yes. Stormwater training is part of the firm's stormwater management practice, and MS4 permits generally carry public education and staff training requirements that the program can be built to satisfy.
