GREENER GOALS

Nashville SC is committed to living sustainably!

In a collaborative effort with MLS Works, Nashville SC participates in Greener Goals, the league-wide initiative to raise awareness about environmental issues through the soccer community.

Each year, Nashville SC players, staff, and partners support efforts that highlight our commitment to environmental sustainability on and off the field.

Youth Sustainability Grants

In 2024, Nashville SC partnered with the Cumberland River Compact and the Mayor’s Youth Council to provide grants to support youth-led sustainability projects. A total of 8 youth projects were funded through the Nashville SC Community Fund covering a variety of topics including waste reduction, rainwater harvesting, tactical urbanism, and more.

Nashville School of Arts students Camden Andrade, Noah Cappellino, Madison Moore (Project Leader), Saqbe Alvarez, Mia Rodas Munoz, Alison Lipschutz restored flowerbeds on their school’s campus that had lacked upkeep and had been overrun by weeds. The group of seniors wanted to restore the flowerbeds to prevent them from being completely removed from campus grounds while spreading mindfulness and allowing students an outlet to connect with nature.

By removing the weeds, planting locally sourced native flowers, and future plans to include signs that other students can read to learn about the flowerbeds' miniature ecosystems, the students hope to leave a positive impact on campus after they leave for college.

“I really want to make sure that all of the faculty [and students] know that these flowerbeds exist, and if they would like take care of it, and I want to make sure to maybe have little sticks [with information cards attached to them] on how to take care of them in the garden bed,” Moore said.

MLK Jr. Magnet High students Bethel Derege and Grace Olson rehabilitated a rain garden at their school by planting new perennials and creating an environmental club. The club’s focus is to maintain the rain garden. The pair of two students received a second grant for another project, which introduced a TerraCycle recycling bin for teachers to discard classroom materials into.
Hume Fogg students Sarah Wang, Malik Alabed, and Arabella Vos placed Pens, Pencils, and Markers Zero Waste Boxes and a Battery Bucket from the Cumberland River Compact throughout their school. Students and faculty collected pens, pencils, markers and batteries to place in the boxes and buckets to reduce waste. The trio also coordinated with school staff to brainstorm and implement the project.
MLK Jr. Magnet High students Carmelina Peterson, Fern Spence, Keira White, Marina Alcendor, Carmelina Peterson, and Brady Mitchell created a composting system to reduce food waste at their school. They achieved this by setting up bins and a composting system throughout the school and promoting the initiative with posters and announcements.
