Through outdoor education, research and experienced environmental educators this program aspires to teach and motivate students, early on, to become socially and environmentally conscious beings. Students are able to learn in a hands-on setting about the environmental issues taking place in our world today and how it affects their lives. The classes are designed to teach students not only the importance of living sustainable, but also HOW they can do this as an individual and as a group. This program introduces students to alternative environmental topics and projects that create a sense of civic responsibility and awareness. Youth are able to gain a heightened interconnectedness with nature and are thus empowered to make sustainable change in their school or community center and their own lives.

This program will allow students to gain a greater connection to our earth and planet and thus a greater connection to their community. Throughout the semester students engage in environmental community service which gives youth a sense of purpose as well as a positive view of their future. Lessons are scientifically based giving students a deeper educational understanding of what is going on in our environment and why.
