The NSR Master Composter Program is available to be replicated and we are available to consult with communities to adapt the program to meet their needs.
Replication Toolkit
Our Community Composting 101 Online Certificate Course provides the foundation for training. We encourage anyone interested in replicating the NSR Program to begin by completing this course.
To help support partners interested in replicating the NSR Program, we have developed an NSR Replication Toolkit. It includes:
- NSR Replication Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which outlines the expectations of the collaboration
- Modifiable program budget
- Proposal template for fundraising
- Presentation files for each module
- Instructor guides for group and hands-on activities
- Interactive activities for instructors to use
- Course handbook, which outlines the course’s modules and requirements
- Best management practices guide for starting a community composting project, which includes information on troubleshooting
